Hypertension and AD
Some commonly prescribed drugs in this class include atenolol (Tenormin), betaxolol (Kerlone), bisoprolol (Zebeta), carteolol (Cartrol), acebutolol (Sectral), metoprolol (Lopressor, Toprol-XL), nadolol (Corgard), propranolol (Inderal), sotolol (Betapace) and timolol (Blocadren).
High blood pressure
The recommended medications are angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEI), such as captopril (Capoten) or ramipril (Altace), or angiotensin receptor blockers (ARB), such as losartan (Cozaar) or valsartan (Diovan), beta-blockers, such as acebutolol (Sectral) and Bisoprolol (Zebeta), aldosterone antagonists, such as spironolactone (Aldactone), and hydralazine/isosorbate dinitrate (BiDil).
