We present a review of 5 basic groups of antihypertensive medications, thiazide diuretics, betablockers, calcium channel blockers, angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors and angiotensin II receptor blockers. In each group we describe suitable indications, contraindications and inappropriate use. The review is based on ESH/ESC guidelines from 2007.
