Angiotensin II receptor blockers
Angiotensin II receptor blockers [7] are often prescribed for people whose blood pressure is not effectively regulated by beta-blockers. Doctors also prescribe them to people who are unable to use beta-blockers because of their health condition.
People who have Marfan syndrome often use angiotensin II receptor blockers to manage their blood pressure. Doctors prescribe this drug to people with this disorder even if they do not have high blood pressure.
Common angiotensin II receptor blockers include olmesartan (Benicar), losartan (Cozaar), and valsartan (Diovan).
