Edarbyclor (Azilsartan/ Chlorthalidone)
Edarbyclor (Azilsartan/ Chlorthalidone)
Edarbyclor combines two powerful components, Azilsartan medoxomil, and Chlorthalidone, to offer an effective treatment for high blood pressure (hypertension). This innovative medication not only helps lower blood pressure but also contributes to the reduction of risks associated with cardiovascular events, such as stroke and heart attack, in patients when one medication is not sufficient.
Why Choose Edarbyclor (Azilsartan/ Chlorthalidone)?
- Dual-Action Formula: Azilsartan works by blocking the action of certain chemicals that tighten the blood vessels, allowing blood to flow more smoothly. Chlorthalidone helps reduce the amount of water in the body by increasing urine flow, which also helps lower blood pressure.
- Clinically Proven Efficacy: Studies have shown that Edarbyclor effectively lowers blood pressure more significantly than either component alone, making it a superior choice for patients requiring combination therapy.
- Convenient Once-Daily Dosing: Simplify your medication routine with one pill daily, designed to provide 24-hour blood pressure control.
How to Use Edarbyclor (Azilsartan/ Chlorthalidone)?
- Take Edarbyclor exactly as prescribed by your healthcare provider. Only adjust your dose after consulting your doctor.
- Edarbyclor can be taken with or without food. However, for consistent blood levels, take it simultaneously each day.
- Regularly monitor your blood pressure as advised by your healthcare provider.
