Summary
Systemic corticosteroids increase potassium loss and may add to thiazide-induced hypokalemia. With inhaled mometasone systemic exposure is low, so the effect is usually small.
What this interaction means in plain words
Candesartan-hydrochlorothiazide and Mometasone inhaled have a small, usually unimportant interaction. Most people can take both; the pharmacist may still mention it so that any unexpected effect is recognised.
Why it happens
Mineralocorticoid activity of corticosteroids increases renal potassium excretion, adding to the thiazide effect.
What to do
No routine action is needed at usual inhaled doses; check potassium if high doses are used or other risk factors for hypokalemia exist.
