There is no new type of hypertension drug on the market at present. Common hypertension drugs include diuretics, calcium channel blockers, beta-blockers, angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors, and angiotensin II receptor blockers. 1. Diuretics: there are three types of diuretics: thiazides, labeled diuretics and potassium-preserving diuretics. Thiazides are the most used, commonly used hydrochlorothiazide, suitable for mild and moderate hypertension. Side effects of the first two types of diuretics include hypokalemia and effects on glucose and lipid metabolism. Potassium-preserving diuretics can cause hyperkalemia and should be used with caution in patients with poor renal function. 2. β-receptor antagonist: used for all kinds of hypertension, especially for people with fast heart rate. Common drugs include propranolol. Side effects mainly include bradycardia, so acute heart failure, sick sinus syndrome is prohibited. 3. Calcium channel blockers: can be divided into dihydropyridines and non-dihydropyridines, dihydropyridines are nifedipine, non-dihydropyridines are verapamil and diltiazem. They are suitable for patients with diabetes mellitus, coronary artery disease or peripheral vascular disease. Side effects include rapid heart rate and facial flushing. 4. Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors: slow onset of action, used in patients with hypertension combined with diabetes mellitus and damage to the heart, kidney target organs or with heart failure, atrial fibrillation or diabetic nephropathy. Common drugs include captopril. 5. Angiotensin II receptor blocking drugs: the indications are the same as angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors, and its most important feature is that the drug has fewer side effects, does not cause irritating dry cough, and is contraindicated in pregnant women. Common drugs include valsartan. It is recommended to actively seek medical advice and follow the doctor’s instructions.
