Question 2

is there a generic for azor (amlodipine and olmesartan) or can they just give me a script for each of the meds separately??

Accepted Answer

Separately: Talk to your pharmacy about the price difference if you get them separately.  Then ask your doc to change to using it separately, unless he has samples.  You can also call the drug company who makes Azor (amlodipine and olmesartan) and sometimes they have programs to help pay for it, or give coupons or samples.

Question 3

was taking azor (amlodipine and olmesartan) 5 mg/ 40 mg .  after stopping, how long till it is completely out of my system?  thank u.

Accepted Answer

Up to ~50 hours: Azor is a combination of amlodipine and olmesartan with relative half life of 30-50 hours and 13 hours respectively. Thus depending on your kidney function give about 2&1/2  days for your system to clear this drug. Hopefully you are under the care of your doctor to safely get off this medication and initiate what other therapy will work for you. Take care.
