First Aid
Antihypertensives are medications used to manage high blood pressure, also known as hypertension. These drugs help lower blood pressure by various mechanisms, such as relaxing blood vessels or reducing the volume of blood. They are particularly important in the context of geriatric care, as older adults often experience hypertension and may be at increased risk for complications from uncontrolled blood pressure.
