Is Amlodipine As Effective As Azor At Controlling Blood Pressure?
Yes, I was taking Azor 10/40 for my Blood Pressure and now my insurance does not want to pay for it any longer and my doctor has changed me to taking Amlodipine10mg/Telmasartam80mg and I am wondering about the capability of this drug in comparison to the Azor as well as, the effect or what different effect it will have oppose to the Azor?
Hello , Azor contains Amlodipine and olmesartan. And your doctor has prescribed Amlodipine and telmisartan combination. Telmisartan and olmesartan belongs to same category of drugs and prescribed doses are also equivalent to each other. So other combination should be nearly efficacious, however we need to see how your body responds. Hope this helps you and get back if you have any doubts.
