About This Medication

# Patient Guide: Getting Edarbi (azilsartan medoxomil) at Lower Cost ## Important Notice About Assistance Programs Currently, there is no active manufacturer prescription assistance program (PAP) directly from Azurity Solutions for Edarbi. However, there are several other ways to reduce your out-of-pocket costs for this blood pressure medication. This guide explains your options. ## About Edarbi Edarbi is a prescription medication used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension). It belongs to a class of drugs called angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs), which work by relaxing blood vessels to help lower blood pressure. Edarbi is available in tablet form and is typically taken once daily. Your doctor has prescribed this medication because it's an effective treatment for managing your blood pressure and reducing your risk of heart disease and stroke. ## Cost-Saving Options Available ### 1.

Generic Alternative (Azilsartan Medoxomil) Edarbi's generic version, azilsartan medoxomil, is typically much less expensive than the brand-name medication.
