Help Patients Get the Right Med Combos for High Blood Pressure

April 2024

Most patients will need multiple meds to reach their blood pressure goal...and you can help ensure they get the correct products.

Taking 2 or more blood pressure meds...separately or as a combo pill...can lower BP more than increasing the dose of one drug alone.

Anticipate dispensing combinations of an ACE inhibitor (lisinopril, etc) or an ARB (losartan, etc)...calcium channel blocker (amlodipine, etc)...or thiazide (chlorthalidone, etc). These meds are first-line options to lower BP and reduce cardiovascular risk.
