Any substance used in the treatment of acute or chronic hypertension regardless of pharmacological mechanism. Antihypertensive agents include diuretics, alpha-adrenergic and beta-adrenergic antagonists, angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors, calcium channel blockers, ganglionic blockers, and vasodilator agents. [url:http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/NCIT_C270] Unlike lipid management with high-intensity statins where a single drug will suffice, most patients with hypertension will require 2 or 3 blood pressure medications to achieve the recommended targets.[url:https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30563358/]
