“May all be happy, may all be healed, may all be at peace and may no one ever suffer."
Azilsartan Medoxomil (an angiotensin II receptor blocker) and Chlorthalidone (thiazide-like diuretic) is indicated for the treatment of hypertension, to lower blood pressure. This combination may be used in patients whose blood pressure is not adequately controlled on monotherapy. This combination may be used as initial therapy if a patient is likely to need multiple drugs to achieve blood pressure goals. Lowering blood pressure reduces the risk of fatal and nonfatal cardiovascular events, primarily strokes and myocardial infarctions. These benefts have been seen in controlled trials of antihypertensive drugs from a wide variety of pharmacologic classes including thiazide-like diuretics such as chlorthalidone and ARBs such as azilsartan medoxomil.
Azilsartan medoxomil is an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB). Azilsartan helps blood vessels to dilate. It also helps to excrete of Sodium and water from body. This combination also contains a diuretic. Chlorthalidone works in the kidneys to flush excess water and salt (sodium) from the body. Together, these 2 medicines work to help lower blood pressure in people who need more than 1 medicine to treat their high blood pressure (hypertension).
