Azilsartan lowers high blood pressure with one tablet a day, and this page covers Edarbi 40mg and its 40/12.5mg combination with the diuretic chlorthalidone.
Azilsartan, Chlorthalidone
40/12.5mg
Azilsartan and chlorthalidone 40/12.5mg tablets pair an angiotensin receptor blocker with a water pill to lower high blood pressure, sold here in packs of 30 to 180.
Azilsartan is an angiotensin II receptor blocker, or ARB, like losartan and candesartan. Angiotensin II is a hormone that tightens blood vessels; azilsartan occupies the receptor it would use, so the vessels stay wider and the pressure drops. The usual reason to take it is essential hypertension, meaning high pressure with no single obvious cause. The tablet controls the reading only for as long as you keep taking it. Stop, and the numbers drift back up, while years of lower pressure are what spare the heart, brain, kidneys and eyes.
Edarbi is azilsartan on its own: 40mg tablets, one a day. Azilsartan And Chlorthalidone adds 12.5mg of chlorthalidone, a diuretic (a medicine that helps the kidneys pass more salt and water). Because the diuretic lowers pressure by a second route, the pair is chosen when azilsartan alone does not bring the reading down far enough, and one tablet covers both. Both are grouped with the other blood pressure medicines in the Heart and Blood Pressure range.
The tablet is one a day, with or without food, and the easiest habit is to tie it to breakfast or bedtime. A home reading on day three will not show the finished effect, because the full fall in pressure builds over about two weeks. Light-headedness when standing up is most likely in the first days; sitting on the edge of the bed for a moment before you rise takes the edge off it. A bout of diarrhoea or vomiting, heavy sweating, or a hot day with too little to drink can push pressure lower still and leave you unsteady.
Dizziness, lightheadedness on standing and tiredness are the ones people notice most. The chlorthalidone half can raise uric acid, which matters if you have had gout. Swelling of the lips, tongue, face or throat, or sudden trouble breathing, needs urgent treatment. Passing very little urine or new swelling in the legs can point to a kidney problem. Azilsartan is not used in pregnancy.
Ibuprofen, naproxen and other anti-inflammatory painkillers work against azilsartan: they blunt the fall in pressure and add strain on the kidneys, and daily use over weeks matters more than the odd tablet. Potassium supplements and low-salt substitutes, a common hidden source of potassium, can push blood potassium too high. Lithium levels can rise. Alcohol relaxes blood vessels too, so a heavy session adds to the dizziness. Pairing azilsartan with aliskiren is avoided in diabetes or moderate to severe kidney problems.
Azilsartan can be ordered online with delivery to Hong Kong. The range here is Edarbi (40mg tablets) and Azilsartan And Chlorthalidone (azilsartan with chlorthalidone, 40/12.5mg). Tracked courier delivery to Hong Kong takes 5 to 9 business days and comes with online tracking.
Each of the two azilsartan products has its own price per pack, shown on its page in HKD or your selected currency; larger packs usually cost less per unit.
PockDose does not ask you to upload a prescription when you order azilsartan. See the ordering FAQ for details.
Edarbi is a brand name of azilsartan. Here, azilsartan can be bought online as generic Edarbi. These are generics, not the original brand.
Pressure falls gradually over about two weeks of daily tablets, and many people notice nothing at all as it happens. The reading creeps back up if the tablets are stopped, which is why they are usually taken long term.
Both are built on azilsartan 40mg. The combination adds chlorthalidone 12.5mg, a diuretic that helps the kidneys release extra salt and water, so pressure comes down by two routes at once. It suits people whose reading stays high on azilsartan alone, and it is still just one tablet a day.
Alcohol opens up blood vessels as well, so a heavy session on top of azilsartan can leave you dizzy or unsteady, especially when you get up quickly. That is a different matter from one drink with a meal.
Occasional ibuprofen is unlikely to matter much, but daily use of ibuprofen or naproxen for weeks works against azilsartan: it nudges blood pressure back up and adds strain on the kidneys.
Yes. Azilsartan medoxomil is the salt form used in tablets, and the body converts it into azilsartan, so both names describe the same active ingredient. Doses are written as plain azilsartan, which is why the products here are named azilsartan 40mg.
