On What Basis Do Doctors Prescribe Medicine For Blood Pressure?
I just started taking blood pressre medication. Considering all the different categories of meds and the meds in each category, how does a doctor determine which med to prescribe? In my case, an angiotensin antagonist (losartan potassium) was prescribed. Thank you.
