These six types of antihypertensive drugs are not recommended by doctors to use them. Many patients with high blood pressure have been eating more traditional antihypertensive drugs, although these drugs have a more accurate antihypertensive effect, but because the side effects of the drug are relatively large, the damage to the body is relatively large, and the safety of use is poor, so it has no longer been recommended. I've summarized six broad categories of antihypertensive drugs that doctors no longer recommend.
The first is particularly short-acting horizon drugs, such as nifedipine tablets. These drugs have a relatively fast onset of action, a short duration of action, and a relatively large antihypertensive amplitude. For middle-aged and elderly patients, if after taking the drug.
1 is that blood pressure is difficult to control at a stable level.
2 Causes drastic fluctuations in blood pressure, which in turn causes risk. It can also induce orthostatic hypotension and refractory hypotension.
The second category is drugs containing reserpine, the most common are compound antihypertensive tablets and drugs such as Beijing Antihypertensive Zero, which contain reserpine will cause central inhibition, while depleting neurotransmitters, and the dosage is not well regulated. In addition, a slightly more medication can cause a serious drop in blood pressure. If you take too much medicine, you can even lower your blood pressure to 0, which is very risky.
The third is drugs that contain clonidine ingredients, such as clonidine tablets or chrysanthemum antihypertensive tablets. The composition of clonidine of these drugs is a central inhibitor, if used in a relatively large amount, it will cause severe hypotension, shock, and even cause circulatory respiratory failure, which is also a relatively large risk and is not suitable for middle-aged and elderly friends.
The fourth is drugs that contain the ingredients of bihydrazine, such as compound robin. Because this ingredient can reflexively cause sympathetic excitement, increased heart rate, increased myocardial contractility, increased myocardial oxygen consumption will induce cardiovascular events, but also cause some damage to the skin, which is no longer recommended.
The fifth is an alpha receptor blocker, representing the drug is piperazosin, which may cause severe orthostatic hypotension after use, the clinical benefit is not obvious, and the protection of the cardio-cerebral kidneys is not accurate, so it has also been excluded from first-line drugs.
The sixth is that there are some health care products that are known to lower blood pressure in pure Chinese medicine. If these health care products play a role in lowering blood pressure, they often add some Western medicine ingredients, and it is not very safe to use.
If you use the above six categories of antihypertensive drugs, I still recommend you adjust it, thank you.
