To some extent: If your blood pressure is 140/90 on treatment , that means it would have been way high with out. It is not dangerously high not even close but not normal either . It need to be lowered either with additional medication or by increasing the dose of your medication . Do not forget , salt restriction , healthy diet , exercise , weight loss . Good luck.

Control: This blood pressure reading is not at goal, however not dangerously high. If lifestyle changes and current medication has not controlled your blood pressure, another medication will need to be added. An option would be to change to tribenzor (amlodipine and hydrochlorothiazide and olmesartan) which contains the meds in Azor plus a diuretic and you will still take one pill. Discuss with you doctor.
