Antihypertensive drugs are employed for the treatment of patients suffering from hypertension. Hypertension is a medical condition, which involves rise in blood pressure in the arteries. Furthermore, the patient suffering from hypertension is highly susceptible to other complications, which include heart failure and aneurysm. Therefore, early diagnosis and treatment with the use of antihypertensive medications are important to treat this medical condition. The demand contains beta blockers, calcium channel antagonists and vasodilatators for some of the anti-hypertensive medications. Such medications are prescribed by the doctor and are used in drug shops and pharmacies in hospitals.
