Which medicine is Good to bring down your BP. Please suggest medicine which are available in indian market.?
Answer:
The following drugs are used in hypertension in India
1)Diuretics, Lasix ,Esidrix, Aldactone, make it difficult for the kidneys to retain water and salt, which are then filtered out into the urine. Increasing the amount of urine reduces the amount of fluid in the bloodstream, and hence the pressure on artery walls.
2)Beta blockers reduce high blood pressure by throttling back the force and speed of the heart. They may also reduce blood pressure by a direct effect on the body's master controls, the central nervous system. Propranolol (Inderal) is the main drug of beta-blocker family and other one is Atenolol
3)ACE inhibitors , which include Enalapril and Ramipril block the production of angiotensin II, a chemical the body produces to raise blood pressure.
4)Calcium channel blockers are the drugs such as Amlodipine and Diltiazem
In India doctors prescribe one or a combination of drugs. Diuretics form a part of any combination as they reduce diastolic pressure more effectively
