Prescription Required.Why?
An angiotensin ii receptor blocker (arb) that helps relax blood vessels.
A thiazide diuretic that increases urine production, lowering blood volume and pressure.
Treatment of hypertension (high blood pressure), often when other medications haven't been effective enough.
Azilsartan Medoxomil blocks the action of angiotensin II, a hormone that narrows blood vessels. Chlorthalidone increases the excretion of sodium and water from the body, reducing blood volume and pressure. The combination provides a synergistic effect, lowering blood pressure more effectively than either drug alone.
