For High Blood Pressure "I have been taking Azor for about 2 years. I am now beginning to experience severe side effects (especially hives and itching). I am miserable. Occasionally, my tongue and fingers swell. I have reported it to my doctor. He has given me a prescription to counteract the itching and suggested that I take Benadryl. Benadryl makes me so sleepy and incoherent. However, this medication (Azor) is definitely working for my blood pressure, which was 180 over 100. With the Azor, it goes down tremendously. How can this decrease my blood pressure, yet make me sick otherwise."

For High Blood Pressure "I take this medicine for elevated blood pressure. If you have swelling or itching or elevated liver tests, quit taking it. Also, not recommended for heart failure patients. But if, like me, you have uncomplicated high blood pressure, it is fabulous. It is covered by all major insurance plans. I gave it a 10, even though I get some impotence with it. But it is excellent in keeping my pressure down within 30 minutes after taking it. My blood pressure is 160/106, so I am on the lower dose of 5/20. Good luck on this medicine."

For High Blood Pressure "I recently had to stop taking Azor (5/20) due to severe itching (feet, legs, hands, scalp, back, and around my lips). Azor did work well with keeping my blood pressure under control. I was taken off of Lisinopril for the same reasons (10 mg). I just started taking Bystolic (10 mg) today and hope that this will work without any really uncomfortable or painful side effects."
