azilsartan chlorthalidone

Azilsartan-chlorthalidone is a combination medicine used to treat high blood pressure, thereby lowering your risk of a stroke or heart attack. Bear in mind that if high blood pressure continues for a long time, the heart and arteries may not function properly. This can damage the blood vessels of the brain, heart, and kidneys, resulting in a stroke, heart failure, or kidney failure. It is worth noting that Azilsartan works by blocking a substance in the body that causes blood vessels to tighten. As a result, Azilsartan relaxes the blood vessels, which eventually lowers blood pressure and increases the supply of blood and oxygen to the heart. As for Chlorthalidone, it reduces the amount of water in the body by increasing the flow of urine, which helps lower the blood pressure. Do not use this combination medicine with any medication that contains aliskiren (a blood pressure medicine). You may also need to avoid taking it with aliskiren if you have kidney disease. In addition, you must not use Azilsartan-chlorthalidone if you are pregnant, considering this medication can cause injury or death to the unborn baby, especially if you take it during your second or third trimester. Also, you should not breastfeed while you are using Azilsartan-chlorthalidone. As for the side effects, they can include allergic reactions, little or no urination, swelling, weight gain, and vertigo. Remember that you may take Azilsartan-Chlorthalidone with or without food.
