A member asked:

Do most people with high blood pressure get on an angiotensin ii drug?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Angiotensin II: Actually no, there is an order to starting blood pressure meds and often people start with a diuretic or a beta blocker. Occasionally, in diabetic patients an ace inhibitor is used as an initial agent because of beneficial effects to protect the kidneys.
