Treatments for high blood pressure

Doctor’s expressive hands while explaining high blood pressure treatment.

If lifestyle changes and modifications don’t lower your blood pressure enough, your doctor might introduce drug therapy to help achieve your goals. There are several types of drugs used to treat high blood pressure, including:

Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors

Angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs)

Diuretics

Beta-blockers

Calcium channel blockers

Alpha-blockers

Alpha-agonists

Renin inhibitors

Combination medications

Talk with your doctor about the kind of drug that may be right for you. Be sure to follow your doctor’s medication instructions.
