AB Antihypertensive  drugs  are  organized  around  a  clinical  indication—the  need  to  treat  a  disease—rather  than  a  receptor  type.  The  drugs  covered  in  this  unit  have  a  variety  of  mechanisms  of  action  including  diuresis,  sympathoplegia,  vasodilation,  and  antagonism  of  angiotensin,  and  many  agents  are  available  in  most  categories.  A  single  renin  inhibitor  has  recently  been  added  to  the  drugs  used  in  this  condition.
