Overview
Azoren 40/10mg Tablet contains a combination of olmesartan medoxomil 40mg and amlodipine besylate (equivalent to amlodipine 10mg), used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension) in patients whose blood pressure is not adequately controlled by either medicine alone. Olmesartan is an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) and amlodipine is a calcium channel blocker (CCB), each lowering blood pressure through a different mechanism.
Olmesartan blocks the action of angiotensin II, a hormone that narrows blood vessels, while amlodipine blocks calcium entry into blood vessel walls, relaxing them. Together, these complementary actions widen blood vessels and reduce the workload on the heart more effectively than either medicine used alone.
How it Works
Olmesartan selectively blocks the AT1 receptor, preventing angiotensin II from causing blood vessel constriction and sodium retention. Amlodipine blocks L-type calcium channels in vascular smooth muscle, reducing calcium influx and causing the muscle to relax. The two actions combine to produce a greater reduction in blood pressure than either drug alone at usual doses.
Directions for Use
Take Azoren 40/10mg Tablet at about the same time each day, with or without food. Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water. Do not stop taking this medicine suddenly without consulting your doctor, even if you feel well, as blood pressure control needs to be continuous.
Dosage
Azoren 40/10mg Tablet is usually taken once daily, with the exact dose combination selected by your doctor based on your blood pressure response and any previous single-ingredient treatment. Your doctor may adjust your dose or switch you to a different strength of this combination as needed – do not adjust your own dose.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Azoren 40/10mg Tablet used for?
Azoren 40/10mg Tablet is a combination medicine used to treat high blood pressure that is not adequately controlled by a single blood pressure medicine. Your doctor will confirm the specific reason it has been prescribed for you.
Why do I need two blood pressure medicines instead of one?
Combining an ARB and a calcium channel blocker lowers blood pressure through two different mechanisms, which often provides better control than a single medicine, especially in people whose blood pressure is harder to manage.
Can I stop taking this medicine if my blood pressure normalises?
No, do not stop without consulting your doctor. High blood pressure often has no symptoms, and stopping suddenly can cause your blood pressure to rise again.
Can I take this medicine if I am pregnant or planning pregnancy?
This medicine should not be used during pregnancy as the olmesartan component can harm the developing baby. Speak to your doctor immediately if you are pregnant, think you may be pregnant, or are planning to become pregnant.
Why do my ankles feel swollen since starting this medicine?
Mild ankle or foot swelling is a common side effect of the amlodipine component. Mention it to your doctor, especially if it is bothersome or associated with other symptoms, so they can assess whether any adjustment is needed.
What should I do if I miss a dose of Azoren 40/10mg Tablet?
Take the missed dose as soon as you remember, unless it is almost time for your next dose – in that case, skip the missed dose and continue your regular schedule. Do not double the dose.
