‣ Start with calcium channel blockers (specifically if the
person is older than 55 years) and
‣ ACE inhibitors if less than 55 years. Recheck the BP
in 2 weeks. If BP is not under control adding diuretics
(Hydrochlorothiazide 12.5 mg a day) may be helpful.
Normally this should bring the BP under control.
‣ If the BP is not controlled by the combination of
Amlodipine 10mg +Hydrochlorothiazide 25mg aday
or Enalapril 10mg and Hydrochlorothiazide 25mg a
day, a referral to a higher center may be necessary.
