The top five prescriptions filled using SingleCare\u2019s prescription card in April 2019 were all blood pressure medications used to treat hypertension. So, what is the most popular medication for high blood pressure?\u00a0 Our list, according to SingleCare prescription data, includes:<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.singlecare.com\/prescription\/lisinopril\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lisinopril<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (generic Prinivil), an angiotensin-converting-enzyme (ACE) inhibitor<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.singlecare.com\/prescription\/losartan-potassium\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Losartan potassium<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (generic Cozaar), an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.singlecare.com\/prescription\/lisinopril-hydrochlorothiazide\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lisinopril-hydrochlorothiazide<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (generic Zestoretic), a combination of an ACE inhibitor and a diuretic<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.singlecare.com\/prescription\/clonidine-hcl-analgesia\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Clonidine HCl<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (generic Catapres), an alpha-2-agonist<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.singlecare.com\/prescription\/losartan-potassium-hctz\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Losartan potassium-hydrochlorothiazide<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (generic Hyzaar), a combination of ARB and a diuretic\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2><b>Why high blood pressure medications?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re wondering, \u201cWhy hypertension medications?\u201d consider this: 103 million people in the United States have high blood pressure, according to the American Heart Association. That\u2019s a lot of people who might need help controlling their blood pressure and bringing it down to a normal range.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Leann Poston, MD, a physician and contributor for Ikon Health, points out that there are actually more people now who have high blood pressure than just a few years ago. But that\u2019s because <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.health.harvard.edu\/heart-health\/reading-the-new-blood-pressure-guidelines\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">the guidelines for and definition of hypertension recently changed<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, ushering more people into this category.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The 2014 guidelines by the American Heart Association and American College of Cardiology recommended a target blood pressure below 140\/90 Hg for all adults. Then in 2017, they changed the guidelines to lower the target to below 130\/80 Hg.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Not all of those people would necessarily need to take a high blood pressure medication. But it would stand to reason that some additional people might need to take medicine to lower their blood pressure to keep it under the limit.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As for why people with SingleCare cards filled so many prescriptions for these meds last April, Kristi Torres, Pharm.D., a member of the SingleCare Medical Review Board, speculates that it may also have to do with their insurance plans.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cMany patients are on high deductible plans, and as pharmacists, we see third party payors pass along a large amount of that deductible, even on relatively inexpensive, generic blood pressure medications,\u201d she says. \u201cI think people are realizing they can minimize their out-of-pocket costs by using SingleCare to find the best price.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On the job, Dr. Torres regularly receives prescription requests for ACE inhibitors, angiotensin receptor blockers, and beta-blockers. \u201cThese drugs are well known, generic, and physicians tend to have a great deal of experience prescribing them,\u201d she explains.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>RELATED: <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.singlecare.com\/blog\/ace-inhibitors-vs-beta-blockers\/\"><b>ACE inhibitors vs. beta blockers: Which blood pressure medication is right for you?<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><b>Stay on top of your blood pressure<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s critical to take your blood pressure medication as prescribed, experts say. Uncontrolled high blood pressure increases your risk for potentially dire events like heart attack and stroke. Approximately 50% of people who have their first heart attack and 66% of people who have their first stroke have high blood pressure, according to the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/dhdsp\/data_statistics\/fact_sheets\/fs_state_hbp.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Centers for Disease Control and Prevention<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (CDC),\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cKnowing your numbers and seeking medical care to control blood pressure, even if you feel fine, is essential to maintaining your health,\u201d says Dr. Poston. \u201cIn addition, according to the American Heart Association, these non-pharmacological interventions can lower your blood pressure: lose [5% to 10% of body] weight if you are overweight or obese, eat a heart-healthy diet, restrict sodium intake, supplement with potassium, increase physical activity, and limit alcohol to one (for women) or two (for men) standard drinks per day.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>RELATED: <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.singlecare.com\/blog\/ways-to-manage-high-blood-pressure-medication\/\"><b>How to lower blood pressure quickly and naturally<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s worth your while to learn as much about the medications you\u2019re taking, too. For example, if you\u2019re one of the many who take medication like lisinopril to keep your blood pressure within normal limits, be sure you\u2019re familiar with possible side effects. Dr. Torres notes that lisinopril and other ACE inhibitors can cause a dry, nagging cough in many people who take them\u2014so you might bring that up with your doctor if it becomes a problem for you. Your doctor may be able to recommend an alternative, like an ARB like losartan.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And no matter the type your doctor prescribes, don\u2019t forget to compare prices on singlecare.com to make sure you\u2019re receiving the best price possible.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You\u2019d probably expect cold and flu medicines to top the list of the most popular prescription drugs in January or February year-to-year on SingleCare.
