Coenzyme Q10 and Azilsartan, Chlorthalidone

Here is the interaction we found between these two, with the evidence behind it.

Minor

ANTIHYPERTENSIVE DRUGS

Why this applies to Azilsartan, Chlorthalidone

Azilsartan, Chlorthalidone falls under ANTIHYPERTENSIVE DRUGS — the group Coenzyme Q10 interacts with.

Theoretically, coenzyme Q10 might have additive effects with antihypertensive drugs.
Some clinical research shows that coenzyme Q10 can significantly lower blood pressure, although other studies have shown conflicting results.
Severity Minor Likelihood Possible Evidence B

Interaction has been documented in animal or in lab research, or the interaction has been documented in humans but is limited to case reports or conflicting clinical research exists.

Dr. Brian Staiger, PharmD, BCPS
Dr. Brian Staiger explains PharmD, Clinical Pharmacist

Edarbyclor combines azilsartan (which relaxes blood vessels) with chlorthalidone (a water pill). Both work to bring your blood pressure down. CoQ10 has shown in some studies that it can gently lower blood pressure on its own, though other studies didn't find much effect. So the concern here is simple: the two together might lower your numbers a little more than the medicine alone.

This is rated minor, and the evidence is mixed, so for most folks it's not a big deal. But keep an eye out for signs your pressure dipped too low, like dizziness, lightheadedness when you stand up, or feeling unusually tired. If you notice that, or you want to add CoQ10, check with your pharmacist or doctor first. Don't change your blood pressure medicine on your own.

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Azilsartan, Chlorthalidone page

“Edarbyclor pairs azilsartan with chlorthalidone to lower blood pressure two ways, and that is exactly why this list warrants genuine care. Most entries either push blood pressure down further than intended or pile onto the diuretic's fluid and potassium effects.”
