Ostarine and Azilsartan, Chlorthalidone

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

Minor

CYTOCHROME P450 2C9 (CYP2C9) SUBSTRATES

Why this applies to Azilsartan, Chlorthalidone

Azilsartan, Chlorthalidone falls under CYTOCHROME P450 2C9 (CYP2C9) SUBSTRATES — the group Ostarine interacts with.

Theoretically, ostarine might increase levels of drugs metabolized by CYP2C9, although clinical research suggests this is not clinically relevant.
Although in vitro research suggests that ostarine inhibits CYP2C9, more robust clinical research shows that ostarine does not significantly affect CYP2C9.
Severity Minor Likelihood Unlikely Evidence B

Interaction has been demonstrated in animal or in lab research but has been shown not to occur in humans..

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

Here's the short version: on paper, Ostarine can block a liver enzyme called CYP2C9, which helps clear part of your Edarbyclor (the azilsartan piece). If that enzyme slowed down, azilsartan could build up a little, which in theory might mean a bigger blood pressure drop than expected, with dizziness, lightheadedness, or feeling worn out. The chlorthalidone (water pill) side could add to that by lowering fluids and salts like potassium.

But the real-world evidence is reassuring. Test-tube studies hinted at this, yet better human studies show Ostarine doesn't meaningfully change CYP2C9, so a true interaction is unlikely. My bigger concern is Ostarine itself, which isn't FDA approved and has been tied to liver injury. Please run any SARM use past your pharmacist or doctor first.

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.”

Ostarine (also called MK-2866 or enobosarm) is an experimental, unapproved drug known as a SARM (selective androgen receptor modulator), not a true dietary supplement. It is not approved by the FDA, is banned in sports, and has been linked to liver injury and other serious harms, so it is not recommended for general use.
