Suction
Azilsartan medoxomil
After taking the drug inside the maximum concentration (Cmax) of azilsartan in blood plasma is achieved on average within 3 hours. The half-life (T1/2) of azilsartan is about 12 hours.
Pharmacokinetic parameters (time to reach the maximum concentration (TCmax), FROMmax, value AUC (the areas under the pharmacokinetic curve "concentration-time") of azilsartan are similar both when it is taken together with chlorthalidone and without it.
Chlorthalidone
After taking the drug inside chlorthalidone It is absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract by 60%. FROMmOh Chlorthalidone in blood plasma is achieved on average within 12 hours. T1/2 Chlorthalidone is about 45 h.
Value AUC Chlortalidone is similar to both with its joint administration with azilsartan medoxomil, and without it. However, Cmax 47% higher with his joint admission with azilsartan medoxomil in the preparation Edarbio Clos.
The ingestion of food does not have a clinically significant effect on the bioavailability of the Edarb® Clos.
Distribution
Azilsartan medoxomil
The volume of distribution of azilsartan is about 16 liters. Azilsartan binds to blood plasma proteins (more than 99%), mainly with albumens of blood plasma.
Chlorthalidone
In whole blood chlorthalidone is mainly associated with the erythrocyte carbonic anhydrase. In blood plasma, approximately 75% of chlorthalidone is associated with blood plasma proteins, with 58 % - from albumin.
Metabolism
Azilsartan medoxomil
Azilsartan is metabolized to two primary metabolites, mainly in the liver. The main metabolite in the blood plasma is formed by O-dealkylation and is designated as a metabolite of M-II, a secondary metabolite is formed by decarboxylation and is referred to as metabolite M-I. Values AUC for these metabolites in humans is correspondingly 50% and less than 1% compared to azilsartan. The main enzyme that provides the metabolism of azilsartan is isoenzyme CYP2C9.
Chlorthalidone
Chlortalidone is mainly excreted unchanged. There are no data on the comparative amounts of chlorthalidone, which is excreted unchanged and in the form of metabolites.
Excretion
Azilsartan medoxomil
Azilsartan and its metabolites are excreted from the body, both through the intestine, and by the kidneys. Studies have shown that after ingestion of azilsartan medoxomil, about 55% (mainly in the form of the metabolite M-I) is found in feces and about 42% (15% - in the form of azilsartan, 19% - in the form of metabolite M-II) - in the urine.
Chlorthalidone
Chlortalidone is mainly excreted by the kidneys unchanged. T1/2 Chlorotalidone is 40-50 hours. Being a thiazide-like diuretic, chlorthalidone excreted in breast milk.
Pharmacokinetics in special groups
Elderly patients
Azilsartan medoxomil
The pharmacokinetics of azilsartan in young (18-45 years) and elderly (65-85 years) patients is not significantly different.
Chlorthalidone
Chlorthalidone in elderly patients is excreted more slowly than in young patients, which, presumably, is associated with age-related changes in kidney function and leads to an increase in T1/2. Reduction of elimination is not clinically significant.
Renal insufficiency
Azilsartan medoxomil
In patients with mild, moderate and severe degree of renal failure AUC was increased by + 30%, + 25% and + 95% respectively. Increases (+ 5%) AUC in patients with terminal stage of renal failure, on hemodialysis, ns was observed. Clinical data on pharmacokinetics in patients with severe degree or terminal stage of renal failure are absent.
Azilsartan is not excreted from the systemic blood flow through hemodialysis. Chlorthalidone
Possible accumulation of chlorthalidone.
Liver failure
Azilsartan medoxomil
The use of azilsartan medoxomil for more than 5 days in patients with mild (less than 5 on the Child-Pugh score) or an average (less than 9 on the Child-Pugh scale) severity of liver failure leads to a slight increase AUC (in 1.3 - 1.6 times, respectively). The pharmacokinetics of azilsartan in patients with severe (more than 9 on the Child-Pugh scale) degree of hepatic insufficiency has not been studied.
Chlorthalidone
Data on the pharmacokinetics of meth.
Gender identity
Azilsartan medoxomil
The pharmacokinetics of azilsartan in men and women is not significantly different. Correction of dose depending on sex is not required.
Chlorthalidone
There are no data on pharmacokinetics.
Race
Azilsartan medoxomil
The pharmacokinetics of azilsartan, depending on the race of the patients, is not significantly different. Correction of dose depending on race is not required.
Chlorthalidone
There are no data on pharmacokinetics.
