Blood Presure Medication

In many cases, people need to take medication in addition to making lifestyle changes to lower their blood pressure. There are several categories of medications used to treat high blood pressure. Some of the most common blood pressure medications include beta blockers, diuretics, and calcium channel blockers. Often, two or more drugs taken in combination work better than one. Also, because people react to medication in different ways, your healthcare provider may need to try a few different types of blood pressure medications to find the one that works best for you.
