Prescription blood pressure medication online
Initial consultation only $35
Thiazide or thiazide-like diuretic
This medication inhibits the reabsorption of luminal sodium and may also be used to clear fluid from the body or minimise ongoing fluid retention.
ACEI
Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors, more commonly known as ACE inhibitors, are used to relax the arteries and veins to assist in lowering blood pressure.
ARB
ARBs are often prescribed to patients who have difficulty tolerating ACE inhibitors. ARBs increase blood flow throughout the body and widen vessels, resulting in lower blood pressure readings.
Beta-blocker
Beta-blockers are prescribed to limit the effects of the hormone epinephrine, which causes the heart to beat more slowly, resulting in lowered blood pressure.
Dihydropyridine calcium channel blocker
Calcium channel antagonists, such as Dihydropyridine, cause dilation of the arteries and have proven to be effective in the treatment of high blood pressure and angina.
Your medical team will advise you on the best treatment option for you.
