Albany, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 03/25/2015 -- The demand for anti-hypertensive drugs market is sustainable since hypertension is a lifelong disease. This means a patient will need to take anti-hypertensive drugs every day for the rest of their life. Hypertension is a chronic medical condition, where the arterial blood pressure level gets elevated and reaches an undesired level. Hypertension is also referred commonly as high blood pressure. This condition is measured in terms of systolic and diastolic pressure and treated generally using a combination of anti-hypertensive drugs.

Calcium channel blocker helps lower the blood pressure of a patient by decreasing myocardial contractility. ACE inhibitors anti-hypertensive drugs are used to control the patient's level of sodium ions and water in blood which helps to decrease blood pressure. Angiotensin II receptor antagonists have a similar mechanism to that of ACE inhibitors.

Beta-adrenoceptor antagonists are used to lower blood pressure by decreasing the heart rate. Even though diuretics, among all these anti-hypertensive drugs, are used as the first line of treatment by doctors for hypertension, the drug preference also depends upon the medical history of the patient. For example, a hypertensive patient that has diabetes may be prescribed ACE inhibitors as a first line of treatment.
