Powerful ARB + diuretic
EDARBYCLOR® (azilsartan medoxomil/chlorthalidone) is 2 medicines in 1 to help you get to goal. If you’re on 2 or more medications and still short of your blood pressure goal, EDARBYCLOR may be a good fit for you.1
EDARBYCLOR combines the same active ingredient in EDARBI®, azilsartan medoxomil, with the diuretic (“water pill”) chlorthalidone. (In fact, it’s the only fixed dose combination drug available with chlorthalidone.)2 The ARB in EDARBYCLOR works by relaxing blood vessels, and the diuretic works in the kidneys to help flush excess water and salt (sodium) from the body. Together, these 2 medicines help to lower blood pressure.2

When scientists compared EDARBYCLOR 40/25 mg with Benicar HCT® (olmesartan medoxomil-hydrochlorothiazide) 40/25 mg for 12 weeks, they found that EDARBYCLOR lowered blood pressure better.1
14.5% greater reduction
than Benicar HCT
Proper medical treatment and control has been shown to lower the risk of dying from heart-related problems such as heart attack and stroke.3,4†
*Based on clinical trial data vs Benicar HCT® (olmesartan medoxomil-hydrochlorothiazide).1
† CV risk reduction with EDARBI and EDARBYCLOR has not been established.
From a subgroup analysis of the same clinical trial, another benefit of EDARBYCLOR was discovered: It is especially effective at lowering blood pressure among African American patients with high blood pressure. 4,5
18% greater SBP reduction
than Benicar HCT5*
This is important because common treatments such as renin angiotensin system (RAS) inhibitors are generally less effective in low-renin populations, including African Americans.6 EDARBYCLOR provides a choice for these populations.5
*Based on clinical trial data vs Benicar HCT, comparing 40/25 dose of EDARBYCLOR to 40/25 mg dose of Benicar HCT among African American participants.5
and Tolerability
Your doctor may monitor the potassium and creatinine levels in your blood while you’re taking EDARBYCLOR.2
EDARBYCLOR may cause serious side effects, including low blood pressure (hypotension), which may cause dizziness or feeling faint.
Vomiting and diarrhea, a low-salt diet, sweating a lot, or not drinking enough fluids can also lead to low blood pressure.7
If you are taking EDARBYCLOR and experience side effects that concern you, call your doctor for medical advice. You are encouraged to report side effects of prescription drugs to Azurity/Arbor Pharmaceuticals, LLC Medical Information at 1-866-516-4950 or to the FDA at www.fda.gov/medwatch or call 1-800-FDA-1088.
Recommended Dosing
Dosing
EDARBYCLOR is a once-daily oral medication that can help you achieve your blood pressure goals.2
- May be administered with or without food.
- May be administered with other antihypertensive agents.
- Dose may be increased to 40/25 mg after 2 to 4 weeks as needed to achieve BP goals.
- Correct volume depletion in patients prior to use.
- Doses above maximum are probably not useful.
