| 4 | hypertension | None | M | 31 | 2 years 0.5 | 8/12/2014 | 4 | high blood pressure | nose stuffs up at 3:30 or 4:30 A.M. every day. | Works great!! Was taking Toprol. Toprol was letting B.P. get160/105. Toprol also caused stuffy nose but not as bad as azor. Azor lets B.P. get no higher than 145/96 (right out of bed, first thing in the morning). Within 2 hr. of waking B.P. usually goes to around 125/75. 12 hr. Vicks nose spray won't help with stuffy nose. Only thing that works is sit upright until head clears. | M | 61 | 90 days 5mg-40mg 1X day | 8/21/2013 | 4 | High blood pressure | Too low blood pressure to going too high. | Solved by taking half a pill in the morning and half a pill in the evening. Still sometimes my blood pressure goes down to 99 | M | 68 | 2 years 5-20 1X day | 4/5/2013 | 4 | high blood pressure | some dizziness, head hurts some, i've lost some weight... does this med make you lose weight? other than that it has helped. | it works for my blood pressure... | F | 57 | 10 days 5-20 mg 1X day | 3/19/2013 | 4 | Hypertension | None... | Works great for me. My Dr combined Tenoretic 50/25mg to Azor 5/20mg which brings my pressure to the lowest limit. | M | 59 | 30 days 5/20mg 1X day | 10/12/2012 | 4 | High blood pressure | Slight swelling of the feed / ankle. Dizzyness when standing too quickly | Brought blood pressure under control. Went from 180/130 to 116/70 | M | 50 | 3 months 10-40 1X day | 7/9/2012 | 4 | High Blood Pressure | No side effects other than edema (swelling ankles & feet) which I have when I don't exercise & it's due to me being overweight. I am African American woman early 40's. I was on Norvasc & Dr. changed becuase of my swelling complaints & I was taking Norvasc & Lasix. Now I only take Azor. I'm satisfied with Azor. (knock on wood) =) I go for my check up on next week - will report back on my labs at that time. | F | 43 | 6 months 5/20mg 1X day | 2/22/2012 | 4 | hypertension | slight chest tightening (shortness of breath) | Have tried 4 other and no luck with lowering BP and horrible side effects. Researched Azor through this site and drug.com and asked my doctor if I could try it. Hurrah! Lower blood pressure after six weeks and barely any side effects....horrible insomnia with others. Atenolol brought my pulse to 45!! (No wonder i felt like I was dragging!) Hurrahy for Azor after MONTHS of trying many others and having bad effects and no help in lowering my blood pressure! | F | 60 | 3 months | 1/19/2010 | 4 | HBP | This medicine brought my BP down quickly and works all day whereas my other meds did not. Only side effect I experienced so far was face flushing for about 10 minutes and a slight headache. | This is my first week on AZOR and so far I feel better on it. Side effects are not that bad and hopefully they will eventually go away. | F | 50 | 3 days | 10/15/2009 | 3 | Hypertension | Only a few days in and I have a lot of drowsiness. The worst part has been the horrible nausea and stomach pain. A slight headache as well. | I've stayed around 210/115 give or take a little and now averaging around 119/78 so it works! I just feel horrible. | F | 46 | 5 days 5 | 11/27/2015 | 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 | 3 | High blood pressure | Rapid weight gain!!!!! | F | 30 | 1 months 5/20mg | 4/7/2013 | 3 | HBP | sometimes irregular heart rate. passed out in late evening every night. enlarged breasts. ED and low testosterone. vision impairment. - see my April 2010 review | it does work well in controlling BP but what a cost. been off since Cristmas 2011 and on 5 mg Bystolic now-- breats returning to normal, vision still weakened, testosterone still low. there is more to ARB side effects than publicized. | M | 64 | 2 years 1/2 of5/20 1X day | 4/14/2012 | 3 | HIGH bp | Extreme swelling of feet; heart palpitations, wheezing; watery, burning eyes; itchy rash. | Controlled my bp at first and dr. was satisfied. Said this combination of nefediac and amlodipine was only thing that worked for some African American women. Insurance didn't want to pay for 2 channel blockers, so when Azor came out, they paid because only one Rx. My cost is $50. First palpitations; later swollen feet. Then wheezing few months ago, now rash like measles. I stopped cold turkey last week, when began researching. | F | 56 | 14 months 1X day | 12/10/2011 | 3 | hypertension | none really | This drug is SOOOOO SOOOOO expensive. But the addition of amlodipine to my antihypertensive regimen really works quite well (was already taking Benicar) I have since been able to reduce my Benicar from 40 mgs to 20. I am still taking Benicar AND amlodipine, I am just now taking them as 2 seperate pills because it is WAY cheaper this way. I have noticed though that if I am even one hour late on my dose of amlodipine, I start getting heart palps. | F | 29 | 1 months 20/5 1X day | 6/22/2010 | 3 | to switch off ACE after 12+ yrs | Blood pressure generally less than 120/80, much lower at night and when wake up. Azor at full 5-20 or benicar alone 20mg tend to nod out in evening, can fade while driving. BUT tinnitus is MUCH quieter and softer than with ACE, no lump in throat, senses of taste and smell much improved. Subject to sinus infections -- complicates air travel. | after starting benicar, then azor, noticed hair loss, lower testosterone, rising PSA. anyone else notice these as side effects? or just coincidence? | M | 62 | 6 months 1/2 of5-20 1X day | 4/19/2010 | 3 | Hi blood pressure | Severe water retention in ankles and lower legs. Very low BP, which caused severe dizziness when standing up. Rapid weigh gain. | Big problems considering I only took the drug for two weeks. A week after stopping, I still am having problems with water retention...and the added weight is still on! | M | 52 | 14 days 10/20 1X day | 3/25/2010 | 3 | HYPERTENSION | After 5 days on 5/20 I have foot and leg cramps. Awoke this morning to find a small blood vessel in my right eye has ruptured. Flushing is very annoying. Swelling hands and feet also. | Blood pressure has dropped tremendously. Possibly I need a lower dose. | F | 59 | 5 days | 12/26/2009 | 3 | Itching on my face, See Gohst sometimes at dark and blood pressure down from 130/90 to 88/67. Too low. | reduced the pills dose from 5mg/20mg Amlodpine and olmesartan medoxomil to 1/2 size (cut in half but still same) | M | 57 | 10 days | 10/9/2009 | 3 | blood pressure went out of control | Have had severe swelling in feet, ankles and legs. Also experiencing hair loss. | Works on blood pressure, even though I had to take the highest dosage. But the swelling is painful. | F | 59 | 8 months | 9/12/2009 |
