I had a couple of fainting falls and the dark colored urine and muscle pain is Rhabdomyolysis. The last time I passed out, I ended up in the back of an Ambulance with BP of 80/40 and pulse of 31. BUN was 88, CK level 76,000, I almost died. | This happened May 4th, 2017 and I am not the same. I am now on Valsartan 80mg and it is working pretty well. | M | 57 | 4 months 40/12.5 1X day | 12/1/2017 | 3 | High blood pressure | When I first began taking this medication I was so excited because in 2wks it lowered my bp from 220/117 to around 138/84. I thought I had found the perfect medicine until I went to see my new doctor and she decided to run a panel of test on me. When my results came back I was shocked because my creatinine had went from 1.2 to 1.4 in that short length of time. I immediately took myself off of it and are now trying Diovan instead. I'm anxious to see if my numbers decreased or has permanent damage occurred. | F | 49 | 2 weeks 40/12.5 | 2/18/2017 | 1 | Awful. Depression | F | 63 | 3 weeks 40mg | 1/28/2017 | 1 | High Blood Pressure | At first things seemed fine. My bloodpressure almost immediately went to normal But in May (after 6 months on it) my doctor decided to check my blood chemistry. WHOA!!! My numbers were so off ... Monocytes had dropped to 100 (should be 200-900), my Creatinine was 2.10 (indicating renal problems which I'd never had!) my kidney function dropped from 87% (before taking Edarbyclor) to 25% after ... and my uric acid SOARED to 12.1 (6 or lower is the norm). I developed gout which had to be treated with shots in my feet. And in the last 2 months I was having bouts of coughing which I had not related until the results came in and all these horrible side effects were realized. | I have not had such an INSIDIOUS reaction to any medications. If your doctor does put you on this, take baby steps. Agree to a blood panel monthly to catch the moment the problems begin so you can stop in time. You will not feel negative effects until the internal damage has been done. I have no idea how long it will take to recover from this. HORRIBLE!!! | F | 51 | 7 months 40/25 1X day | 6/18/2015 | 1 | Hypertension | Almost died on this medication. Before med BP was 180/110 on the 3rd day was rush to ER by EMS unresponsive with NO BP and heart rate was in the 30's. Since have had constant dizziness, palpitations, and have not felt right. | I have been a Paramedic for 20 years and would NOT recommend taking this drug, would however recommend Class Action lawsuit. Have not been able to return to work thus far. | M | 44 | 3 days 40/25 1X day | 4/7/2014 | 3 | High blood pressure | Terrible coughing attacks. | 46 | 1 years 40/25 | 3/27/2014 |
EDARBYCLOR (AZILSARTAN KAMEDOXOMIL; CHLORTHALIDONE): This medication is used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension). Lowering high blood pressure helps prevent strokes, heart attacks, and kidney problems. This product contains two medications: azilsartan and chlorthalidone. Azilsartan works by relaxing blood vessels so blood can flow more easily. It belongs to a class of drugs called angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs). Chlorthalidone causes your body to get rid of extra salt and water by making more urine. It is called a "water pill" or diuretic. FDA Approval Date: 2011-12-20 (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA)
