[QUOTE="jacb, post: 234834, member: 18836"] Oh I forgot to ask, looking at the NICE ([I]National Institute for Health and Care Excellence[/I]) [URL='https://www.nice.org.uk/guidance/ng136/resources/visual-summary-pdf-6899919517']flow chart for Hypertension[/URL], it seems to suggest that CCB's ([I]Calcium Channel Blockers[/I]) are offered at the outset of treatment. Either by themselves or with Losartan ([I]ARB's[/I]) etc. I know nothing about CCB's .... [B]should I simply ask for Losartan alone and see how it goes re the BP?[/B] On page two the flow chart goes on to say that if blood potassium levels are below or equal to 4.5 mmol/l then a low does "Spironolactone" should be considered? It also says that if blood potassium levels are above 4.5 mmol/l then an alpha-blocker or beta-blocker may be considered. Oh boy! [/QUOTE]
