In recent years, hypertension has been diagnosed in ever younger people, although more recently it was predominantly the elderly who suffered from it. It not only reduces the quality of life, but can also pose a serious threat to it. Complications against the background of high blood pressure are no less terrible, often leading to disability. Only regular visits to the doctor and the use of special drugs will help to avoid this, among which the most prescribed, as well as effective and safe, are angiotensin-2 receptor blockers (ARBs) or sartans.

We have prepared a rating of the best sartans, including preparations of both the first and the latest generation. When compiling the TOP, reviews of doctors and patients, compositions of medicines and their popularity were taken into account.

There are contraindications. Check with your doctor.

Comparison of the main characteristics of sartans and ACE inhibitors

In addition to sartans, ACE inhibitors (angiotensin-converting enzyme) are also used to treat hypertension. The latter are often also called pril because of the common ending in the name of the drugs - Enalapril, Captopril, Lisinopril. They have a slightly different mechanism of action, have recently been prescribed less frequently, and are considered less modern. ACE inhibitors block the conversion of angiotensin I to angiotensin II. Sartans act as angiotensin II receptor blockers, normalizing increased vascular tone.
