Choosing what drugs are suitable involves a decision-making process taking into account age, presence of other diseases, anticipated side effects and cost and is best done by your doctor. The usual response to a single drug is a reduction of systolic by 12 to 15 and diastolic by 8 to 10. In patients whose goal blood pressure requires a reduction of systolic more than 20 and diastolic more than 10 at least two drugs are required. In general, a combination of drugs is required for adequate blood pressure control. Once drug treatment is started follow-up visits to the doctor are needed usually in two weeks for checking adequacy of blood pressure control and possible side effects of drugs. Most blood pressure lowering drugs can be taken once a day as their effect lasts 24 hours.
