Diuretics

Calcium Channel Blockers

Beta-Adrenoceptor Blockers (Beta-Blockers)

Nitrates

Angiotensin II Receptor Blockers

ACE Inhibitors

Stops the binding of angiotensin II, reducing its effects

Combination of arterial and venous dilators (nitrate oxides)

Remove sodium and fluid through the urine 4 classes: thiazides, loop, potassium-sparing, aldosterone antagonists

Inhibit the conversion of angiotensin I to angiotensin II

Reduces peripheral resistance by stopping vasoconstriction

Stop noradrenaline from binding to receptors (therefore reduce cardiac output and peripheral resistance)
