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...

Good results and minimal side effects with 5/20 taken with diuretics - almost no effect without diuretics. Dose lasts 24 hours plus. Does cause some sexual dysfunction, but skipping a dose for 12 to 24 hours and we're fine. Price is an issue cuz cheap insurance won't pay for proprietary. Even more dramatic effects when taken with beta blockers prn.

Works great in maintaining BP. Since I started taking this drug, my arms and hands tend to bruise and cut easily.

taking azor for 2 years! Lots of golf and sailing! Balance off with light headedness. Joints ache all over. Hands, feet and knees. Use CPAP machine and have horrible headaches at least 5 time a week. Dizzy and sometimes confused! After reading all these reviews I will be speaking to my doctor! Thanks for all the other views on this drug!

Besides the nausea, loss of balance, dry mouth, and trouble catching my breath, this is just wonderful stuff! I would not recommend it to anyone.

Other BP meds seemed to wear off around dinner time where the AZOR lasts much longer, no noted side effects.

I have been developing real bad side effects. Severe - water retention, on Face, legs, feet, coughing-sore throat,liver problems, just developed signs of bad liver, Dr. wants to do Biopsy on liver, sugar levels are up. I'm very concerned with this medication. Blood pressure is excellent though. Don't recommend it.

The price on this drug keeps increasing I can't understand what would make the production more costly.

When first taking this drug, my blood pressure dropped to 120 to 130 over 79 80. I noticed the more running I did the faster I dehydrated, also had sinus issues, tingling in legs, and sometimes hands. Has up and down effects. I'm giving it a little more time to see if the side affects subside.

This med quickly lowered my bp significantly. Insurance forced me to Exforge and the numbers were not nearly close to that of Azor and noticeable side effects. I fought to get back on this med because it worked for me. Its more expensive but will rather pay more for clearly what works best for me. Past meds have included Norvasc,Linsinopril,and Verapramil.
