Medication To Lower High Blood Pressure Medications to lower high blood pressure, also known as antihypertensive drugs, are prescribed by doctors to help control and reduce elevated blood pressure levels. There are several types of medications used to lower high blood pressure.

Common types of antihypertensive medications include: a) Diuretics Diuretics, like hydrochlorothiazide and furosemide, help eliminate excess salt and water from the body, reducing the volume of blood in circulation.
