Hello ,
Azor contains Amlodipine and olmesartan. And your doctor has prescribed Amlodipine and telmisartan combination. Telmisartan and olmesartan belongs to same category of drugs and prescribed doses are also equivalent to each other. So other combination should be nearly efficacious, however we need to see how your body responds.
Hope this helps you and get back if you have any doubts.
