New on the blog: Adding a Second Blood Pressure Medication to Lisinopril or Amlodipine

Yes. Many people need more than one medicine to reach their blood pressure goal, and that is normal.

ACE inhibitors such as lisinopril, ARBs such as losartan, calcium channel blockers such as amlodipine, and thiazide-type diuretics such as chlorthalidone and hydrochlorothiazide.

Propranolol is sometimes used for physical symptoms of situational or performance anxiety, such as a racing heart before a presentation. That is a different job than daily blood pressure control.
