The Dr. Ardis Show | Top 20 Drugs of 2025: High Blood Pressure | Episode 08.26.2026

This week, The Dr. Ardis Show continues the Top 20 Drugs of 2025 series with a deep dive into the five high blood pressure medications that made the list: amlodipine (#2), lisinopril (#4), losartan (#6), metoprolol (#12), and hydrochlorothiazide (#20). Dr. Ardis opens with the Mayo Clinic's blood pressure categories and the difference between primary and secondary hypertension, then walks through each drug's published package-insert side effects, including amlodipine's edema and Parkinson's-like symptoms, lisinopril's black box pregnancy warning and liver injury risk, losartan's kidney failure and heart block reports, metoprolol's 27.5% heart failure and 1-in-10 death rate in trials, and hydrochlorothiazide's necrotizing vasculitis and toxic epidermal necrolysis. He then covers the published research behind natural alternatives: guggul (Commiphora mukul) resin extract and Arjuna bark for cardiac function and cholesterol, vitamin C for systolic and diastolic blood pressure reduction, and magnesium as a natural calcium channel blocker that - unlike amlodipine - acts on both the L-type and T-type calcium channels in heart cells.
