Hypotensive

Hypotensive is a medicinal activity that is used to reduce the pressure of blood in the arteries. It is a common medical treatment used to treat hypertension (high blood pressure). This activity is usually prescribed by a doctor to help lower the patient's blood pressure. The most common types of hypotensive medications are diuretics, beta blockers, calcium channel blockers, angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors, angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs), and alpha blockers. Diuretics are used to reduce the amount of fluid in the body, which helps to reduce blood pressure. Beta blockers reduce the heart rate and the force of contraction of the heart, which helps to reduce blood pressure. Calcium channel blockers work by blocking the entry of calcium into the muscle cells of the blood vessels, which causes the blood vessels to relax, which helps to reduce blood pressure. ACE inhibitors inhibit the production of a hormone called angiotensin II, which helps to relax the blood vessels, which helps to reduce blood pressure. ARBs help to reduce the activity of angiotensin II in the body, which also helps to reduce blood pressure. Alpha blockers work by blocking the release of a hormone called norepinephrine, which helps to reduce the resistance of the blood vessels, which helps to reduce blood pressure.
