Edarbi is a blood pressure medication that contains an active substance called azilsartan medoxomil and belongs to a class of medications called angiotensin II receptor antagonists (ARAII). Angiotensin II is a substance that occurs naturally in the body and causes contraction of blood vessels, thus increasing blood pressure. Edarbi blocks this effect so that the blood vessels relax, which helps reduce blood pressure.
Edarbis a prodrug that hydrolyzes to azilsartan in the gastrointestinal tract during absorption. It is a selective antagonist of the angiotensin II receptor of the AT1 subtype. Chlorthalidone is a monosulfonamilic diuretic similar to a thiazide, which differs chemically from thiazide diuretics due to the lack of benzothiadiazole structure. They act on two separate mechanisms that participate in the regulation of blood pressure. Specifically, azilsartan medoxomil blocks the vasoconstriction and sodium retention effects of angiotensin II in vascular and cardiac smooth muscle and in adrenal and renal cells, and chlorthalidone produces diuresis with increased excretion of sodium and chlorides in the cortical segment. dilution of the ascending branch of the Henle loop of the nephron.
