A member asked:
Is it possible that a beta blocker for hbp may give minimal lowering results but a switch to an ace inhibitor may result in better lowering results?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hypertension: Various medications can have varied effectiveness in different patients. Beta blocker is not a highly potent antihypertensive. Ace inhibitors are effective but not always more so than beta blockers.
