    drugs that lower high blood pressure

    Antihypertensives, also known as blood pressure medications, are drugs used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension). They work through various mechanisms, such as relaxing blood vessels, reducing blood volume, or decreasing the heart rate, to lower blood pressure and reduce the risk of complications like stroke and heart attack.
