We're talking 200/120. Dr prescribed azor BP immediately went down. Few weeks later started having intimacy issues and loss of sex drive. Dr checks blood and starts me on testosterone replacement injections. The injections worked for about a week or so after I would take them and would wear off after. Even while they were working I still had a limp noodle. I dealt with this for over 2 years and finally one day something just told me to Google reviews of the drug azor. I stumbled upon this site and started reading the numerous reviews of low T, ED, swollen breasts, weight gain, headaches. Immediately I called my doctor and asked if we could try something different for BP med and told him of my findings. At this point I was 10 hours from home working for a month in the middle of nowhere. The nurse calls and said he won't make any changes until he sees you in the office. I was depressed that I thought I had found a solution to the problem I had battled for 2 years and my doctor whom was normally understanding of these things wouldn't do anything. I came home from work and immediately found a new physician told him of my findings he said let's try it. He writes the script for loesartan and low and behold 3 days after I dropped azor I got my erection back. Azor gave an indication of low testosterone and the symptoms of low T. I battled this for 2 long years. It nearly ruined my marriage. My wife and I usually have an active sex life. This drug is terrib | Do NOT take this drug if you're a male. It will kill your sex life and make you feel like crap | M | 32 | 2 years 10/40 | 4/14/2015 | 5 | None. I have had hair loss since I started taking different medication for high blood pressure, 4 years ago, so I don't know about Azor | It works great my BP is the same or lower than my daughter's. She is 11. I have taken for one year already and I have not gain any weight since then. | F | 47 | 1 years | 7/14/2009 | 5 | Hypertension | None but took 3 weeks to get used to it. | I feel completely the same after 1 year on Azor.

Said this combination of nefediac and amlodipine was only thing that worked for some African American women.

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).
