Aclidinium Inhalation and Edarbyclor

• Generic Name: aclidinium
• Dosage Forms: n.a.
• Other Brand Names: Tudorza Pressair

Aclidinium is used to treat bronchospasm caused by chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). COPD is a lung disease that also includes chronic bronchitis (swelling of the tubes leading to the lungs) and emphysema (damage to the air sacs in the lungs).

Aclidinium is a bronchodilator. Bronchodilators are breathed in through the mouth to help open up the bronchial tubes (air passages) in the lungs. It is taken by inhalation (an inhaler) and will increase the flow of air to the lungs.

Aclidinium is available only with your doctor's prescription.

• Generic Name: azilsartan medoxomil / chlorthalidone
• Dosage Forms: tablet
• Other Brand Names: Edarbyclor

Edarbyclor contains a combination of azilsartan and chlorthalidone. Azilsartan is an angiotensin II receptor blocker (sometimes called an ARB).

Chlorthalidone is a thiazide diuretic (water pill) that helps prevent your body from absorbing too much salt, which can cause fluid retention.

Edarbyclor is used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension). Lowering blood pressure may lower your risk of a stroke or heart attack.
