In sum, the latest class of blood pressure drugs not only has fewer side effects than ACE Inhibitors do, but they can actually benefit other conditions, depending on which one you take.

If you are on any other blood pressure medicine and have any side effects, or if you think you’ve just gotten used to the side effects, perhaps you should look into these generics as an alternative.

You might wind up even healthier than you thought you could be from a blood pressure medicine.

Please be sure to scroll through the windows with tables.

Oh, and “telmisartan” looks like a generally good generic option, but several other do, too.

GoodRX has these at excellent prices, if you insurance doesn’t provide as much of a discount.

Big thank you for posting this.

Something to discuss with my cardiologist on my next visit.

If an ARB is not enough by itself, it appears to be most efficacious with a Calcium Channel Blocker (CCB). From what I’ve read, diuretics or other renin influencing drugs are either less effective or create added side effects. So, don’t combine an ARB with a ACE Inhibitor or other renin acting drug.

Of course, you need to inform your doctor of these issues if they didn’t already know.
