What are some of the blood pressure medication combinations to help lower blood pressure., that work well for African Americans? That medicine worked well until I had to stopI recently because I had a reaction Amilodipine/Benazaril 10/40 due to allergic reaction to Benzaril after taking it for more than 3 yrs. The physician said Benaziril type of reaction (angioedema happens in African Americans frequently.

Hi,
This is Dr Sameer.
Best antihypertensive for African American is considered to be calcium channel blocker (Amlodipine/Cilnidipine).
So if you are getting side effects with the combination, you can stop the combination & change to only Tab Amlodipine 10mg twice daily which will control your bp well.
Thanks
