Edarbyclor Information

Edarbyclor (Azilsartan Medoxomil/Chlorthalidone) is used to control blood pressure. Lowering blood pressure helps to reduce the risk of complications like heart attacks, stroke, and kidney damage. Edarbyclor is a combination medicine containing Azilsartan Medoxomil and Chlorthalidone. Angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs) like Azilsartan Medoxomil work by relaxing blood vessels to help blood flow more easily and lower blood pressure. Diuretics like Chlorthalidone work by increasing the amount of urine your body makes to eliminate extra salt and water.
