The right medication for your specific need and taken in the correct amount can be a lifesaver to you.  If you are prescribed the wrong medicine, it may be a waste of money as it can trigger potentially dangerous side effects such as diabetes, heart palpitations and dizziness.

There are several types of HBP medicines that really works thats prescribed to treat this silent killer disease. While some doctors even decide whether or not to prescribe generic medication.


This decision, most time, is dependent on cost because it will then be taken as instructed.


HBP drugs fall in the following categories:


  1. Antihypertensive: These reduce blood pressure.


  2. Water pills that remove excess fluids from the body, and salt, which may be necessary as an initial treatment option. Diuretics are temporary, with doctors recommending to no longer using them once reaching optimal levels.


  3. Medications that reduce heart rate and the amount of blood the heart pumps. In turn, this decreases the blood pressure in the arteries.


  4. Sympathetic nerve inhibitors may be useful. The sympathetic nerves run from the brain throughout the body. These nerves tell the arteries to contract. Contraction of the arteries causes a rise in blood pressure. These types of high blood pressure medications can inhibit the nerves from constricting the blood vessels significantly.

Other Types Of High Blood Pressure Medications

There are other high blood pressure drugs.

For example, doctors may recommend vasodilators. These cause the muscles in the walls of the arteries to relax. This helps the blood vessels, including the arteries to dilate better, allowing blood to flow through them easier.


ACE inhibitors are another type of medication used for treatment of high blood pressure.


Drugs like the blood pressure medication Benicar work to reduce the production of angiotensin, a chemical that causes the arteries to constrict.
