Hypertension medications can be taken for a long time or even for life. Hypertension is a chronic disease that requires long-term use of blood pressure medications to control blood pressure in the target range in order to reduce damage to the heart, brain and kidney target organs and to prevent the emergence of various complications of hypertension. The first-line antihypertensive drugs currently used in clinical practice have more or less side effects, but the probability of side effects is very low, and some side effects do not cause serious adverse consequences for patients. If there are obvious side effects after taking antihypertensive drugs, you can switch to other antihypertensive drugs that are suitable for the patient. Irregular treatment is very detrimental to patients with hypertension and can easily cause target organ damage or even serious hypertensive complications that can be disabling or life-threatening.
