High blood pressure can be lowered by taking diuretics, beta-blockers, calcium channel blockers, angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors and angiotensin II receptor antagonists.
1. Diuretics: such as hydrochlorothiazide and furosemide. They are suitable for mild to moderate hypertension, salt-sensitive hypertension, combined with obesity and diabetes mellitus. Common adverse reactions of diuretics are hypokalemia, affecting blood lipids, blood glucose and so on. Gout patients are prohibited.
2. β-blockers: such as propranolol, metoprolol and so on. These drugs are suitable for young and middle-aged people with fast heart rate, or people with combined angina and chronic heart failure. Adverse effects include bradycardia, weakness, and increased airway resistance. Acute heart failure, atrioventricular block should be used with caution.
3. Calcium channel blockers: such as nifedipine, diltiazem. It is suitable for those who have combined variant angina, and those who have combined peripheral blood vessels. Use with caution in people with heart failure and low sinus node function.
4. Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEI): such as captopril. Particularly suitable for people with heart failure, myocardial infarction, atrial fibrillation, proteinuria. Use with caution in hypertensive potassium, pregnant women, and those with bilateral renal artery stenosis.
5. Angiotensin II receptor antagonist: such as chlorosartan. The antihypertensive effect is slow, but long-lasting and smooth. The therapeutic window is wide, and the maximum antihypertensive effect is 6~8 weeks after taking the drug. Indications and contraindications are the same as ACEI.
All of the above drugs should be under the guidance of a doctor, do not use drugs without authorization.
