Was taking 2 pills a day for HBP before beginning azor. The azor brought my blood pressure down to readings like 107/70. The first couple of weeks on it were pretty good some dizziness, heart racing, etc. but nothing I couldn't live with to achieve those numbers. However, beginning between the second and third week of treatment, I began to notice that within an hour or two of taking my azor I w...

I have been on azor for one month and do have side effects, heart palpitations, headaches, back pain and itching skin I am extremely listless for someone who was working out everyday. All around just do not feel real great on this medication. My BP is 137/85 which is good for me will be contacting the doctor regarding side effects, I just feel there are too many to continue on this medicine, life is too short to feel miserable.

This is a good drug for controlling your BP, I was on for nearly 6years, didnt know it was doing damage to me. A horrible condition in my gums. (dentist & specialist said it was Azor) And it was effecting my mind. Months would go by and I didnt even realize it. So be careful with this one. I'm now transitioning to a different med.

This medicine almost killed my friend. Oschner was gonna let him die, but thank goodness he had the money to get a private flight to the mayo clinic. They discovered it was the Azor and took him off of it and now he's healthy as can be.

I have been taking this for 1 year. It makes me tired, and I have no energy. I have also gained weight, and retain water. Most of the time my blood pressure is O.K. I am going back to the doctor to see if I can take something else instead of this.

Could not keep food down for 6 months before anyone checked that it could possible be this medication causing it. Even had my gall bladder taken out.

Forgot to add in the 4/17/13 review, increased shortness of breath plus fingernails almost going totally white from organ damage. Cardiologist still in denial that AZOR causing this eventho time line is proof.

In Nov 2011, started Azor 10/20 after Lisinopril didn't control spikes during stress. I noticed immediately, lightheadness,dizzy on rising, headaches,etc. Dr reduced Rx to 1/2 pill of 5/20 every other day. Also had severe edema in legs(got another diuretic added for that), tingling, numbness in fingers & pain that wakes a person up in the night, plus weight gain despite exercising & watching diet.Wondering if loose stools are also side effect? Cardiologist quit before I fired him. Will work to get off AZOR ASAP.Read More Read Less

Had blood pressure spiking 180/100 while on three meds - Nifedical, Benicar and atenolol. Doctor took me off Nifedial and Benicar and put me on Azor 10/40. First week on it was fine...blood pressure stablized to 120-130/70-80. Second week starting feeling sick - thought I had a sinus infection, stuffy nose, ear ache. Started with high anxiety, pressure started to drop to 108/56, pulse 50, heart feels like it's pounding, diarrhea. Called doctor, he said I was overmedicated and to stop the Atenolol, if low pressure continues stop current dosage of Azor and call him. I hate drugs, but what do you do when you have high blood pressure????Read More Read Less

On Azor for 10 months. BP is controlled. Have not tried anything else. Here today researching possible generic version since my co-pay for brands has tripled. Slight nausea when I started but that cleared up when taken with food. Only major side effect is an unexplained fluttering in my chest. Will discuss with my doctor. No swelling, water retention, pain, diminished libido or other severe symptoms. Would recommend to those who are not helped by other meds.
