Azoren is indicated for the treatment of hypertension, alone or with other antihypertensive agents. Azoren may also be used as initial therapy in patients who are likely to need multiple antihypertensive agents to achieve their blood pressure goals
Initial Therapy
The usual starting dose of Azoren is one tablet (5/20 mg) once daily. The dosage can be increased after 1 to 2 weeks of therapy to a maximum dose of 10/40 mg once daily as needed to control blood pressure. Azoren may be taken with or without food. Azoren may be administered with other antihypertensive agents. Initial therapy with this combination product is not recommended in patients > 75 years old or with hepatic impairment.
Replacement Therapy
Azoren may be substituted for its individually titrated components. When substituting for individual components, the dose of one or both of the components can be increased if blood pressure control has not been satisfactory.
Add-on Therapy
Azoren may be used to provide additional blood pressure lowering for patients not adequately controlled with Amlodipine (or another dihydropyridine Calcium Channel Blocker) alone or with Olmesartan Medoxomil (or another angiotensin Il receptor blocker) alone.
