Edarbyclor is a medication used to lower high blood pressure in patients experiencing hypertension. This medication helps prevent heart attacks, strokes, and kidney problems. Azilsartan is an angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB) that works by relaxing blood vessels to make blood flow more easily. The other part of the medication (chlorthalidone) is a diuretic that removes excess salt and water where it is expelled through the urine.
