Start a daily prescription for 12.5 mg of hydrochlorothiazide orally. A thiazide-type diuretic or calcium channel blocker (CCB), taken alone or in combination, is the drug therapy for Black adult hypertension patients (without chronic kidney disease or diabetes) that the Eighth Joint National Committee (JNC 8) recommends.
The JNC 8 suggests thiazide-type diuretics, ACE inhibitors, angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs), or CCBs for White people, either alone or in combination. ARBs and ACE inhibitors should not be combined.
Angioedema is a severe side effect of these two pharmacological types, although being unusual. Patients who have a chronic lung condition, such as asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), should not take beta-blockers because they may cause bronchoconstriction.
