The first 3 days I felt fine. Any swelling in my feet and hands were gone after I started the AZOR. On day 4, I started having really bad headaches. By day 5, palpations started. The evening of day 7 I was feeling crazy. My heart was racing and my head was pounding. I felt like I was full of anxiety. I was clearly headed towards a panic attack. On day 8, I forgot to take it. Half way through the day, I realized the headaches were completely gone and the palpations were almost non existence. I think the way to go is through weight loss. Not worth the headaches. I don't recommend AZOR! | F | 45 | 7 days 5mg/40mg | 6/12/2015 | 1 | Stroke level hypertension | My BP was stroke level. 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 | 4 | blood pressure of 188/102. | Severe headache and erectile problem. When I stop for 2 weeks, I got my erection back. | Is a pretty good drug. Except for the two side effects listed above. Besides azor, I have tried all other similar drugs in its class none work like azor 10/40mg. | M | 45 | 5 weeks 10/40mg | 1/26/2015 | 3 | high blood pressure | unbearable headaches,..to the point that i could not sleep for days,...a general feeling of unpleasantness. tired sore neck,..and legs. for worse then my 140/90 bp, that i have brought down to 136/87 by losing 12 lbs. i have stop taking the medication for two days now,..and the headachs, and foggy head is going away. im just going to lose the weight ,and bring my bp down | azor gave me a foggy head,headach soreness,..chills . i stop taking it after two weeks, never to return to it | M | 43 | 2 weeks 5/20 2X day | 10/30/2014 | 1 | Hypertension | I would never take this drug ppl.

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).
