Safely Buy Edarbyclor ( Azilsartan Medoxomil/Chlorthalidone ) from Canada Prescriptions Plus.

Indications

Edarbyclor is a medication used to treat hypertension, or high blood pressure, in adults. It is a combination drug that contains two active ingredients: azilsartan medoxomil and chlorthalidone.

Azilsartan medoxomil is an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) and works by relaxing blood vessels to help lower blood pressure, while chlorthalidone is a diuretic that helps the kidneys eliminate excess salt and water from the body.
