The most used medicines are diuretics, beta blockers, ACE inhibitors, Angiotensin receptor blockers and Calcium antagonists.

For people with uncomplicated hypertension the evidence suggests that the most important thing is to reduce the blood pressure - it is less important which drug is used as none have shown significant advantages over the others.

For complicated hypertension or in special situations eg Kidney disease, Diabetes, coronary Heart disease then one or other class of drug may have an advantage.
