Abstract

Hypertension is an international public health concern, which plays a major role in the development of cardiovascular disease (CVD), stroke, and renal failure. Due to its asymptomatic nature, it is frequently referred to as a "silent killer" and affects millions of people globally. Pharmacological therapies, such as the use of different antihypertensive medications, together with lifestyle change are essential for effective management. The epidemiology of hypertension, use of medications, and the complications of untreated or insufficiently controlled hypertension are all examined in this review. The effectiveness and side effects of many kinds of antihypertensive medications are also covered.
