A member asked:
How is it that one hbp medication at a median dose will not result in lowering and another class (at an equivalent dose) will?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Patient dependent: Every patient is different and their unique genetics dictate their potential responsiveness to one med vs another. Different classes of meds for hypertension will therefore achieve different results in different patients.
