What are the medicines that can be used for high blood pressure ? And what are the indicators of high bp
doctor
Answered by Dr. Michelle Gibson James (5 minutes later)
Brief Answer:
there are a lot of blood pressure medications

Detailed Answer:
HI

Typically high BP is not associated with signs/symptoms unless the reading is very very high and causing organ damage.
This is the reason that high blood pressure is called the silent killer, readings can be high and persons do not know. It needs to be checked.

High blood pressure is diagnosed if the top value (systolic reading) is greater than 140 OR the bottom value (diastolic) is greater than 90.

There are so many medications that can be used for high blood pressure from a lot of different drug families, examples of a few are amlodipine, valsartan, telmisartan, lisinopril, bezide, bisoprolol, metoprolol, hydrallazine.

Your doctor would need to decide what medication would best suit you.
