Preparations from the pressure of a new generation

Arterial hypertension is a serious enemy, who can only be defeated with the help of drug treatment. To improve the results of therapy and reduce the likelihood of side effects are called drugs from the pressure of a new generation. The list of such drugs is constantly updated. What is better - to be treated with proven means or expensive new items?

III generation drugs - a revolution in the treatment of hypertension or new names and the old composition?

The main thing is the difference between drugs for hypertension of the new generation and what is their undoubted advantage over their predecessors - the combined effect. That is, several active substances are combined in one tablet. If earlier the list of prescriptions for hypertension included up to a dozen medications, today it has become much shorter, since 1 drug can replace 2-3 drugs.

Preparations of the last (third generation) differ from drugs "with experience" and other qualities:

• specially selected compound increased efficiency;
• the composition was developed taking into account the side effects of each of the components;
• very practical to use;
• cause fewer side effects than 1st and 2nd generation drugs;
• well tolerated by most patients;
• efficiency does not decrease with long-term use.

Preparations from the pressure of a new generation: a list of pharmacological groups

Since the treatment of this disease uses an integrated approach, the patient is prescribed several groups of drugs. What new drugs appeared in the first-aid kit hypertonic? A short list of drugs from the pressure of the new generation looks like this:

• Among the drugs that people with hypertension should constantly take are renin inhibitors. The 3rd generation drugs include Rasilez (Alskiren) and Cardosal. Their advantage over the "old" drugs is that they are able to maintain normal blood pressure for a day and do not provoke glossitis and dry cough;
• angiotensin receptor antagonists. The most popular "fresh" drug in this series is Olmesartan (Cardosal). Acts much faster, has a high therapeutic effect;
• diuretics. Trifas (Torasemide) won an excellent reputation among doctors and patients. It provides a good antihypertensive effect, including in diabetic patients and elderly patients;
• ACE inhibitors. Competition to highly effective Enalaprilu (Ramipril) is trying to make a “newcomer” - Fosinopril, but in its properties it is not much better than proven drugs;
• alpha and beta blockers. Advanced drugs include Nebivolol, Dabetolol, Carvedilol. Their predecessor is Anaprilin. New drugs provide a pronounced vasodilating effect, reduce heart rate. Their minus (which was also the 2nd generation of drugs) - "the effect of cancellation";
• calcium channel blockers. The most famous "newcomers" - Amlodipine, Equator. Produce a prolonged hypotensive effect.
