Key takeaways
- Calcium-channel blockers, ACE inhibitors, ARBs, beta blockers and diuretics are not interchangeable.
- Blood pressure, pulse, kidney function or electrolytes may need monitoring, depending on the medicine.
- Chest pain, stroke signs, fainting or severe breathlessness require urgent medical help.
The listings are for comparison; suitability and supply depend on clinician and pharmacy checks, stock, destination rules and any prescription requirements.
How the medicine groups differ
- Calcium-channel blockers: amlodipine and verapamil affect blood vessels or heart rate to different degrees.
- ACE inhibitors and ARBs: lisinopril and olmesartan act on the renin-angiotensin system and require kidney, potassium and pregnancy checks.
- Beta blockers: metoprolol slows the heart and may be used for selected heart or blood-pressure conditions.
- Diuretics: hydrochlorothiazide increases salt and water excretion and can affect electrolytes.
What these medicines are used for
Linked conditions include hypertension, angina pectoris, heart failure and arrhythmia.
Important safety checks
Tell the clinician or pharmacist about pregnancy, kidney disease, asthma, gout, low blood pressure, a slow pulse and all other medicines. Do not stop a beta blocker or other long-term heart medicine suddenly unless a clinician directs you.
When to seek urgent care
Call emergency services for chest pressure or pain, severe breathlessness, fainting, a new irregular heartbeat with weakness, or stroke signs such as facial droop, arm weakness or speech difficulty.
