 | | Sometimes it is helpful to use a betablocker like propanolol in combination with another hypertension medication as another approach. | | | I know that I have used more than one type of blood pressure medication in several patients (mostly cats, though) when one medication wouldn't work along -- usually a calcium channel blocker like amlodipine in combination with an angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor (ACE inhibitor) like enalapril. | | | In Dr. Morgan's book "Handbook of Small Animal Practice" the section on hypertension associated with kidney failure says that multiple agents are sometimes necessary and that using low sodium diets is also helpful. |
