Geez Banj....You're completely disgusting...........Just make me sick..............(Congratulations!!!!)

It's not unusual to take more than one med and combinatios can also benefit the heart itself. All depends on what the cause is. As Mary said, the loop diuretics are good for many folks and are often used in combination with other BP meds. The main types of high blood pressure medications are: diuretics, beta-blockers, angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors, angiotensin antagonists, calcium channel blockers, alpha blockers, alpha-beta blockers, nervous system inhibitors, and vasodilators. Each has it's place and how they affect you and your condition dictates the treatment.
