Beta blockers with thiazides
What are Beta blockers with thiazides?
Beta-blocker/thiazide diuretic combos are a combination of two antihypertensive drugs beta-blockers and thiazide diuretics. Beta-blocker/thiazide diuretic combos lower the blood pressure by removing excess water and salt from the body and slowing the heart rate.
Hydrochlorothiazide is a thiazide diuretic (water pill). Metoprolol is a beta-blocker. Hydrochlorothiazide and metoprolol is a combination medicine used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension).
β-Blockers combine well with DHP CCBs and α-blockers. Although efficacy is good with diuretic agents, there is an increased risk of metabolic disturbance. There is a risk of bradycardia and heart block with non-DHP CCBs particularly with the use of verapamil.
