FAQ
Which azilsartan and chlorthalidone pack sizes can I order?
One strength, 40/12.5mg tablets of generic azilsartan with chlorthalidone, in packs from 30 up to 180. A tablet costs less in the bigger packs.
How do I pay for azilsartan and chlorthalidone?
Card (Visa, Mastercard or American Express) on an encrypted payment page that keeps your card details off the shop's servers, or Bitcoin and Ethereum. Live chat answers 24/7 in English and Cantonese if anything goes wrong.
What are the brand names for azilsartan and chlorthalidone?
A brand name for azilsartan and chlorthalidone is Edarbyclor. Azilsartan and chlorthalidone tablets are a pure generic azilsartan and chlorthalidone product and are not that brand.
How long does azilsartan and chlorthalidone take to work?
Within hours for the water-pill part, which is why the first day brings extra trips to the bathroom. Azilsartan takes longer: about two weeks before pressure reaches its new level. Both effects carry on only while the tablets are taken.
Can I drink alcohol with azilsartan and chlorthalidone?
Alcohol adds to the drop in blood pressure these tablets cause, so a drink can leave you more dizzy or lightheaded than usual, especially when you stand up. Drinking less, and not on an empty stomach, tends to keep those effects milder.
Should I take azilsartan and chlorthalidone with food?
Yes, breakfast is the simplest slot. Food is the usual advice for the chlorthalidone half, which is gentler on the stomach, and a morning dose keeps the extra urination out of the night. Azilsartan itself is unaffected by food.
What does 40/12.5mg mean on this tablet?
It names the two ingredients in order: 40mg of azilsartan, then 12.5mg of chlorthalidone. One tablet carries both amounts, so the single daily dose delivers the pair together.
Is azilsartan and chlorthalidone the same as Edarbyclor?
Yes, it is the same two ingredients at the same 40/12.5mg strength. Edarbyclor is a brand name, while this listing uses the generic name.
About Azilsartan And Chlorthalidone
Two blood pressure medicines in one tablet
Azilsartan and chlorthalidone 40/12.5mg tablets pack two ways of lowering high blood pressure into one daily dose. Azilsartan is an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) — it blocks a natural signal that tightens blood vessels, so they stay open and blood moves through them with less effort. Chlorthalidone is a diuretic, or water pill: it nudges the kidneys to pass more salt and water out in the urine, which reduces the volume of fluid pressing on the artery walls. One works on the width of the vessels, the other on what is inside them, and the pair is used when a single medicine has not brought pressure down far enough.
How to take it
Swallow one tablet a day. Chlorthalidone is taken with food and suits the morning best, because you will be passing urine more often for a few hours after it. Azilsartan is not fussy about food either way. Take it at roughly the same time each day; the aim is steady pressure rather than a single dose. Azilsartan can take about two weeks before its full effect shows.
What you may notice
Dizziness and lightheadedness are the usual complaints, most often in the first days and when you get up from sitting or lying down; rising slowly makes a difference. Extra trips to the bathroom are expected. Headache, an upset stomach, nausea, diarrhoea and a flagging appetite turn up too.
A severe allergic reaction — swelling of the face, lips or tongue, a blistering or peeling rash, or trouble breathing or swallowing — needs urgent treatment. Chlorthalidone can also push potassium and sodium levels down, and thirst, unusual tiredness or drowsiness, restlessness, muscle weakness or cramps, or a racing heartbeat can be signs of that.
Interactions
Painkillers such as ibuprofen and naproxen, and aspirin, can blunt the diuretic and put strain on the kidneys. Potassium supplements and salt substitutes containing potassium can send potassium too high. Alcohol makes the dizziness and lightheadedness worse. Azilsartan is not used in pregnancy.
