Azor contains two active ingredients: amlodipine and olmesartan medoxomil. It is a prescription medication used to lower high blood pressure in adults who need more than one medicine to reach their blood pressure goal.
Azor is used to treat hypertension, also called high blood pressure.
Blood pressure is the force of blood pushing against the walls of the arteries. When this pressure stays too high over time, the heart has to work harder to move blood through the body.
High blood pressure often does not cause noticeable symptoms. However, if it is not controlled, it can gradually damage the heart, blood vessels, kidneys, brain, and other organs.
Over time, uncontrolled high blood pressure may increase the risk of:
Azor may be prescribed when one blood pressure medication alone does not lower blood pressure enough. It may also be used as an initial treatment in some adults who are likely to need more than one medicine to reach their target blood pressure.
Azor helps control high blood pressure, but it does not cure it. Continue taking the medication as prescribed, even if you feel well.
Azor combines two medications that lower blood pressure in different ways.
Amlodipine
Amlodipine belongs to a group of medicines called calcium channel blockers.
Calcium helps the muscles in the walls of blood vessels tighten. Amlodipine reduces the movement of calcium into these muscle cells.
This allows the blood vessels to relax and widen.
As a result, amlodipine may:
Olmesartan Medoxomil
Olmesartan medoxomil belongs to a group of medicines called angiotensin II receptor blockers, or ARBs.
The body produces a natural substance called angiotensin II. This substance causes blood vessels to tighten and can also encourage the body to retain sodium and water.
Olmesartan blocks angiotensin II from attaching to its receptors. This allows the blood vessels to relax and widen.
As a result, olmesartan may:
Combined Effect
Amlodipine and olmesartan work together to lower blood pressure through two different mechanisms.
Amlodipine relaxes the muscles in the blood vessel walls, while olmesartan blocks the hormone signal that causes blood vessels to narrow.
Using both medicines together can provide stronger blood pressure control than either medication may provide alone.
Lowering blood pressure may help reduce the long-term risk of complications such as stroke and heart attack.
Azor begins lowering blood pressure after treatment starts, but the full effect may take several weeks.
You may not feel any different while taking the medication because high blood pressure usually does not cause symptoms. Regular blood pressure checks are important to determine whether the treatment is working.
Your healthcare provider may adjust the dose based on your blood pressure, side effects, kidney function, and overall response to treatment.
Do not increase, reduce, or stop Azor without speaking with your healthcare provider.
Azor is available as an oral tablet containing amlodipine and olmesartan. It is usually taken once daily, with or without food.
Take Azor exactly as prescribed by your healthcare provider. Try to take it at the same time each day to help you remember and maintain consistent blood pressure control.
If you take colesevelam, a bile acid–binding medicine used to lower cholesterol, take Azor at least four hours before colesevelam. This helps prevent colesevelam from reducing the absorption of olmesartan.
Continue taking Azor even if you feel well. High blood pressure often does not cause noticeable symptoms, but it can still damage the heart, blood vessels, kidneys, and other organs.
Do not increase, decrease, or stop your dose without speaking with your healthcare provider.
A common starting dose is one tablet containing:
This dose is taken once daily.
Your healthcare provider will choose the most appropriate starting dose based on your current blood pressure, previous blood pressure medicines, and overall health.
Your healthcare provider may adjust your dose depending on how well your blood pressure responds and whether you experience side effects.
Dose increases are generally made after allowing enough time to assess your response to treatment.
The maximum recommended daily dose is:
Do not take more than the prescribed dose.
Azor begins lowering blood pressure after treatment starts, but it may take about two weeks to experience most of its blood pressure-lowering effect.
Continue taking the medication regularly during this time. Your healthcare provider may check your blood pressure and adjust the dose if additional control is needed.
Take Azor every day, even when your blood pressure readings improve. The medication controls high blood pressure but does not cure it.
Regular blood pressure checks are important to make sure the medication is working properly. Your healthcare provider may also monitor your kidney function and potassium levels during treatment.
Azor (Amlodipine/Olmesartan) is available in the following forms and strengths:
Azor carries a boxed warning for fetal toxicity. Do not use Azor during pregnancy.
Olmesartan affects the renin-angiotensin system and can cause serious harm or death to an unborn baby, especially during the second and third trimesters.
Stop taking Azor and contact your healthcare provider as soon as possible if you become pregnant or think you may be pregnant.
Azor may cause blood pressure to become too low, leading to dizziness, weakness, lightheadedness, or fainting.
The risk may be higher if you:
Stand up slowly from a sitting or lying position. Contact your healthcare provider if dizziness is severe or you faint.
Azor may cause new or worsening kidney problems, particularly in people who already have kidney disease, severe heart failure, dehydration, or reduced blood flow to the kidneys.
Your healthcare provider may order blood tests to monitor kidney function during treatment.
Contact your healthcare provider if you develop reduced urination, swelling, unusual tiredness, or unexplained weight gain.
Tell your healthcare provider if you have liver disease or reduced liver function.
Amlodipine may remain in the body longer in people with liver impairment. A lower starting dose or closer monitoring may therefore be needed.
Do not change your dose without medical advice.
Olmesartan may increase potassium levels in the blood, a condition called hyperkalemia.
The risk may be higher in people with kidney disease or those taking potassium supplements, potassium-containing salt substitutes, or other medications that raise potassium levels.
Your healthcare provider may periodically check your potassium with blood tests.
Contact your healthcare provider if you experience unusual muscle weakness, numbness, tingling, or an irregular heartbeat.
Azor may rarely cause angioedema, which is sudden swelling beneath the skin. This reaction can become life-threatening if it affects the throat or airway.
Stop taking Azor and seek emergency medical care if you develop:
Other allergic reactions may cause rash, itching, or swelling. Contact your healthcare provider if these symptoms occur.
Tell your healthcare provider and pharmacist about every prescription medication, over-the-counter medicine, vitamin, and supplement you use.
Azor may interact with medications such as:
Some combinations may increase the risk of low blood pressure, kidney problems, high potassium levels, or other side effects.
Do not start, stop, or change another medication without first speaking with your healthcare provider.
High blood pressure is usually treated with a combination of lifestyle changes and medication. Lifestyle changes may include eating a heart-healthy diet, reducing sodium intake, exercising regularly, maintaining a healthy weight, limiting alcohol, and stopping smoking. Azor helps lower blood pressure by relaxing and widening the blood vessels. It does not work by removing water and salt from the body, because it does not contain a diuretic.
Azor begins lowering blood pressure after treatment starts, but it may take about two weeks to experience most of its full effect. Continue taking Azor every day as prescribed, even if your blood pressure does not improve right away. Contact your healthcare provider if your readings remain high or your symptoms worsen.
Alcohol may increase dizziness or lightheadedness, especially when you first start Azor or after your dose is increased. Ask your healthcare provider whether alcohol is safe for you. Avoid driving, operating machinery, or doing activities that require alertness until you know how Azor affects you. Do not use potassium supplements or potassium-containing salt substitutes unless your healthcare provider approves them.
Do not take Azor during pregnancy. Olmesartan can seriously harm an unborn baby, especially during the second and third trimesters. Stop taking Azor and contact your healthcare provider immediately if you become pregnant. Talk to your healthcare provider before breastfeeding while taking Azor. They will help determine whether the medication is appropriate based on the benefits and possible risks.
