Blood pressure ampoule is the best alternative to blood pressure pills

How many people do you know around you who have high blood pressure? Without a doubt, you know that blood pressure statistics are not low in our country. Unfortunately, 42% of adult men and women in Iran suffer from high blood pressure. Meanwhile, many of these people are not at all aware of the dangers that may occur to them due to blood pressure problems. In recent days, promising news for people with high blood pressure was published in the news, and that was that it is possible that blood pressure pills will soon be replaced by blood pressure pills. Stay with us to check the details of this news.

Is blood pressure ampoule a substitute for blood pressure pills?

A study conducted at Queen Mary University of London showed that the way high blood pressure is treated in adults can be changed; So that there is no need to take pills daily. If left untreated, high blood pressure can lead to heart attack or stroke. Statistics show that about 50% of strokes occur in people who have high blood pressure. Usually, these people are recommended by the doctor to take blood pressure pills. But according to a research conducted in England, it can be said that it is possible that the blood pressure injection will soon replace the previous treatment, i.e. pills.

This news can be very encouraging because if it comes true, people with high blood pressure will no longer need to take pills every day. Rather, they should only inject blood pressure injections twice a year. It is supposed that this study will continue for 3 years to complete the investigations. In simpler words, this study is still in the early stages, but there is a high probability that it will be declared successful and in the near future blood pressure ampules will replace blood pressure pills.

630 people with high blood pressure from all over the world are participating in the research conducted at Queen Mary University of London on the blood pressure injection. This research will continue for 3 years to determine whether blood pressure ampoules can be replaced by blood pressure pills or not!

Labtalol ampoule for high blood pressure

As we said, the research on the blood pressure injection is still in the early stages, and in the coming years it will be determined whether injecting the blood pressure injection twice a year will replace the daily use of pills or not. But you may have heard the name of labtalol ampoule as a blood pressure ampoule and you may be asked what this ampoule is?

The injectable form of labtalol ampoule is used if the patient’s blood pressure is very high. In fact, in emergency cases, this drug is prescribed by a doctor. So this type of blood pressure ampoule is completely different from the ampoule we are considering and it is only used in emergency cases and it cannot be considered as a substitute for blood pressure pills.

What are high blood pressure medications?

Currently, to treat high blood pressure, doctors usually prescribe one of the following drugs:

• Amlodipine: This drug often has few side effects and is therefore very popular among users. In most cases, this medicine should be used once a day.
• Lisinopril: This drug, which is also used for heart failure, is often prescribed once a day for people with high blood pressure.
• Metoprolol: It has two forms: quick release and long release. Reducing the risk of heart attacks, controlling heart failure and treating angina are among the benefits of this drug.
• Losartan: It is usually prescribed once a day and reduces the risk of stroke in people whose heart size is enlarged due to disease.
• Hydrochlorothiazide: This drug is available in tablet and capsule forms, it is a diuretic and is often prescribed to patients with heart failure to prevent water retention.
• Furosemide: This drug is also a diuretic and is prescribed to patients 1 or 2 times a day at the discretion of the doctor. In addition to lowering blood pressure, furosemide prevents water retention in the body and is used in the treatment of heart failure.

What are the complications of high blood pressure?

We said that research on blood pressure ampoules is still in the early stages. But if this research is proven, patients only need to prescribe this ampoule twice a year to completely control their blood pressure. High blood pressure must be taken seriously and treated. Some of the complications of high blood pressure are as follows:

• Heart attack or stroke: hardening and thickening of the arteries due to high blood pressure can lead to these risks.
• Aneurysm or a bulging vein that can be life-threatening.
• Heart failure: In case of high blood pressure, the heart has to work harder to pump blood, and the pressure on the heart may cause failure.
• Kidney problems: High blood pressure can narrow or weaken the blood vessels in the kidneys and damage them.
• Eye and vision problems: Increased blood pressure can cause thickening, narrowing or rupture of blood vessels in the eye and cause vision problems.

Metabolic syndrome, changes in memory and learning and dementia can be other complications of high blood pressure if it is not controlled.

What are the symptoms of high blood pressure?

Most people with high blood pressure do not have any symptoms; Even if their blood pressure is very high. This is why it is recommended that people visit the doctor several times a year for a checkup, especially after the age of 40.

You can have high blood pressure for years and be unaware of it; So it is better to check your blood pressure with a blood pressure monitor every once in a while.

Some people with high blood pressure may experience the following symptoms:

• Headache
• Shortness of breath
• nose bleeding

Unfortunately, in most cases, these symptoms do not appear until the blood pressure is too high. That is why many people are not aware of their high blood pressure.
