• ACP inhibitors, angiotensin II receptor blockers
• α-blockers

• Ambulances

Doctors who specialize in cardiac pathology-vascular system, call for lowering blood pressure with modern hypertension medications. Treatment of high blood pressure is necessary, as pathology can cause the development of stroke and heart attack. Patients with hypertensive disease take antihypertensive drugs throughout their lives. Refusal of preparations without a doctor's prior consultation is extremely dangerous for patients. For the effectiveness of treatment, there are groups of drugs against hypertension.

Groups of antihypertensive drugs

For the treatment of hypertension, there are effective cures for hypertension. Each of the drugs has its pros and cons. Therefore, for each patient, individual therapy, medicine and dosage are selected.

β-adrenoblockers

β-adrenoblockers are prescribed for patients with arterial hypertension. It is established that drugs effectively prevent sudden cardiac arrest, so they can rightfully be considered the best medications for hypertension. Medicines can improve the prognosis of patients with arterial hypertension. Drugs interfere with pressure increase under stress.

The most popular drug from the group of β-blockers is Anaprilin. Its analogues include: Propranolol, Inderal, Obsidan, Bisoprolol, Metoprolol, Atenolol, Egilok, Concor, Carvedilol. Drugs are more suitable for young people who have a history of neurosis, hyperthyroidism, tachycardia. In elderly people, the effectiveness of β-blockers decreases, as the number of corresponding receptors decreases.

β-adrenoblockers reduce myocardial need for oxygen consumption. This effect helps in the therapy of angina pectoris, myocardial infarction. However, there are side effects:

• bronchospasm;
• decrease in blood glucose;
• narrowing of blood vessels;
• exacerbation of "smokers' bronchitis";
• decreased potency;
• depression, insomnia;
• bradycardia;
• Raynaud's syndrome.

Because of side effects, drugs are not prescribed for people with bronchial asthma, obliterating atherosclerosis, with caution - for diabetes. The drugs are addictive. That is, over time, the usual dosage ceases to effectively affect pressure. It should also be borne in mind that withdrawal syndrome is acute in patients.

Important! β-blockers should not be thrown abruptly. Reception and withdrawal of drugs occurs with a gradual change in dosage.

People suffering from depression with caution are prescribed Metoprolol, Propranolol, Pindolol. The drugs of choice in this case are Atenolol, Nadolol. If patients have bradycardia, preference is given to new drugs in the treatment of hypertension - Pindolol, Oxprenolol, Acebutalol. In Raynaud's syndrome, they recommend taking Labetolol, Celiprol, Nebilet.

Important! If suffocation occurs, β-adrenoblockers are urgently canceled without a gradual dose reduction!

List of drugs for hypertension:

• Korgard, Tenormin - prescribed for mental disorders( stress, depression);
• Trazikor, Viksen, Atsekor, Cordanum - recommended with reduced heart rate;
• Lokren - does not worsen a condition at a bronchial asthma;
• Labetolol - does not reduce the level of sugar in the blood.

Calcium channel blockers

Calcium channel blockers help in the therapy of hypertension and relief of hypertensive crises. The most popular drugs of this group are: Corinfar, Nifedipine, Amlodipine, Norvasc, Normodipin.

Drugs of this group have vasodilator action, slight diuretic effect, interfere with the development of atherosclerosis. The drugs are effective for the treatment of hypertension in the elderly. The strong vasodilating effect of Corinfar, Cordafen.

Means may cause headache, so they are not prescribed to patients who suffer from migraine attacks. Less vasodilating effect is available with the drugs Verapamil, Diltiazem. The drugs are great for patients with heart rhythm disturbances( bradycardia), obstructive pulmonary diseases.

• swelling on the legs;
• feeling of "tides";
• increased heart rate;
• possible constipation.

The list of tablets from hypertension:

• Corinfar Uno;

• Lomir( cautiously appointed elderly);
• Latsipil( do not recommend in the first days after myocardial infarction);
• Cardil( prescribe to patients with arrhythmia).

A modern group of drugs - ACE inhibitors, angiotensin II receptor blockers.

To modern drugs for the treatment of hypertension include ATP inhibitors. The most popular drug is Captopril. Cardiologists can prescribe analogues:

• Lysinopril;
• Enalapril;

• cough;
• decreased libido;
• constipation;
• puffiness.

Dosage and preparations are selected individually. In the elderly, do not recommend using Moex tablets. To the effective drugs belongs Prestarium.

α-adrenoblockers

Strictly according to the doctor's prescription and in combination with potassium preparations, patients are recommended to take Uregit, Arifon, Furosemide, Hypothiazide, Klopamid, Indap.

The drugs have many side effects:

• violation of potassium metabolism( hypokalemia);
• cardiac rhythm disturbance;
• increased heart rate;

First aid preparations

In case when the pressure reaches critical figures and threatens the development of a stroke, the doctor can prescribe to the patient Clophelin, Albarel, Tsint, Dopegit. To the systemic consumption of such potent agents, some cardiologists are skeptical.

Drugs can greatly alter the mental state( develops depression), negatively affect the functions of the pancreas. Patients who constantly take "first-aid" drugs as a result of cancellation can greatly increase pressure. So the withdrawal syndrome manifests itself.
