How is hypertension treated?
Treatment for hypertension typically involves lifestyle changes, such as exercise and dietary changes, as well as medication to help lower blood pressure. Certain medications, such as Azor, work by relaxing the blood vessels and reducing the amount of water and salt in the body to lower blood pressure.
How long does it take for Azor (amlodipine / Olmesartan) to start working?
It typically takes about 2 weeks to see the full blood pressure-lowering effect from Azor. But even if you don’t see a change in your blood pressure after taking it every day for 2 weeks, you should keep taking the medication and contact your provider.
What should I avoid while taking Azor?
You should avoid drinking alcohol while taking Azor, as it can increase the risk of side effects. You should also avoid activities that require alertness, such as driving or operating heavy machinery, until you know how Azor affects you.
Can Azor be taken during pregnancy or breastfeeding?
Azor should not be taken during pregnancy, especially during the second and third trimesters, as it may harm the developing fetus.
