	'''Antihypertensives''' are a class of [[medication\|drugs]] that are used to treat [[hypertension]] (high blood pressure). Antihypertensive therapy seeks to prevent the complications of high blood pressure, such as [[stroke]], heart failure, kidney failure and [[myocardial infarction]]. Evidence suggests that reduction of the [[blood pressure]] by 5 mmHg can decrease the risk of stroke by 34% and of [[ischaemic heart disease]] by 21%, and can reduce the likelihood of [[dementia]], [[heart failure]], and [[death\|mortality]] from [[cardiovascular disease]]. There are many classes of antihypertensives, which lower blood pressure by different means. Among the most important and most widely used medications are [[thiazide diuretic]]s, [[calcium channel blocker]]s, [[ACE inhibitor]]s, [[angiotensin II receptor antagonist]]s (ARBs), and [[beta blocker]]s.

	In the United States, the JNC8 (Eighth Joint National Committee on the Prevention, Detection, Evaluation, and Treatment of High Blood Pressure) recommends thiazide-type diuretics to be one of the first-line drug treatments for hypertension, either as monotherapy or in combination with [[calcium channel blockers]], [[ACE inhibitors]], or [[angiotensin II receptor antagonists]].~~<ref name=JNC8 />~~ There are fixed-dose [[combination drugs]], such as [[ACE inhibitor and thiazide combination]]s. Despite thiazides being cheap and effective, they are not prescribed as often as some newer drugs. This is because they have been associated with increased risk of new-onset diabetes and as such are recommended for use in patients over 65, for whom the risk of new-onset diabetes is outweighed by the benefits of controlling systolic blood pressure. Another theory is that they are off-patent and thus rarely promoted by the drug industry.

	Medications that are classified as potassium-sparing diuretics which block the epithelial sodium channel (ENaC), such as [[amiloride]] and [[triamterene]], are seldom prescribed as monotherapy. ENaC blocker medications need stronger public evidence for their blood pressure reducing effect.

	A systematic review of 63 trials with over 35,000 participants indicated ACE inhibitors significantly reduced doubling of serum creatinine levels compared to other drugs (ARBs, α blockers, β blockers, etc.), and the authors suggested this as a first line of defense.~~<ref name = "wu" />~~ The AASK trial showed that ACE inhibitors are more effective at slowing down the decline of [[kidney function]] compared to [[calcium channel blockers]] and [[beta blockers]].

	Notable side effects of ACE inhibitors include [[dry cough]], [[hyperkalemia\|high blood levels of potassium]], fatigue, dizziness, headaches, loss of taste and a risk for [[angioedema]].

	Although [[beta blocker]]s lower blood pressure, they do not have a positive benefit on endpoints as some other antihypertensives. In particular, beta-blockers are no longer recommended as first-line treatment due to relative adverse risk of stroke and new-onset of type 2 diabetes when compared to other medications,~~<ref name=nps02 />~~ while certain specific beta-blockers such as [[atenolol]] appear to be less useful in overall treatment of hypertension than several other agents. A systematic review of 63 trials with over 35,000 participants indicated β-blockers increased the risk of mortality, compared to other antihypertensive therapies. They do, however, have an important role in the prevention of heart attacks in people who have already had a heart attack. In the United Kingdom, the June 2006 "Hypertension: Management of Hypertension in Adults in Primary Care" guideline of the [[National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence]], downgraded the role of beta-blockers due to their risk of provoking [[type 2 diabetes]].
