I was on Toprol XL for 6 years and had horrid side effects. My doctor switched me to Azor about 3 months ago and I have very little side effects.

AZOR (AMLODIPINE BESYLATE; OLMESARTAN MEDOXOMIL): This product is used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension). Lowering high blood pressure helps prevent strokes, heart attacks, and kidney problems. This product contains 2 medications: amlodipine and olmesartan. They both work by relaxing blood vessels so blood can flow more easily. Amlodipine is a calcium channel blocker and olmesartan is an angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB).
