Table of contents:

Edarbyclor is a prescription medication used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension). It is a combination of two medications, azilsartan medoxomil, an angiotensin II receptor antagonist, and chlorthalidone, a diuretic. Edarbyclor works by relaxing blood vessels, helping to lower blood pressure, and removing excess water and salt from the body.

Azilsartan belongs to a class of drugs called angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs). It works by relaxing blood vessels so blood can flow more easily. Chlorthalidone is a "water pill" or diuretic. It causes your body to get rid of extra salt and water by making more urine.

Uses and Dosage

Edarbyclor comes in the form of a tablet and should be taken orally with or without food as directed by your healthcare provider, typically once daily. Avoid taking Edarbyclor too close to bedtime as it may cause the need to wake up to urinate. Take the tablet at least 4 hours before going to bed.

The dosage of Edarbyclor will be determined by your healthcare provider based on your medical condition and response to treatment. To get the most benefit from the medication, take it regularly at the same time each day. Even if you feel well, keep taking Edarbyclor as most people with high blood pressure do not experience any symptoms. It may take several weeks before you experience the full benefit of the medication.

The usual dosing for Edarbyclor (azilsartan/chlorthalidone) is 40 mg/12.5 mg taken orally once daily. After 2 to 4 weeks, your healthcare provider may increase your dose to a maximum of 40 mg/25 mg (azilsartan/chlorthalidone).
