In a tertiary care setting in Southern Rajasthan, ARBs are the most commonly utilized antihypertensive agents, both as monotherapy and in combination regimens.
ARBs predominate in regimens at this Indian tertiary center; extends regional utilization data but leaves open links to outcomes or guideline alignment.
Hypertension, a prevalent cardiovascular condition, is a significant public health concern globally. This burden is particularly pronounced in India, affecting a substantial proportion of the population. Effective management of hypertension relies heavily on the appropriate utilization of antihypertensive medications. This prospective observational cohort study, conducted in a tertiary hospital in Southern Rajasthan, recruited 220 hypertensive patients on antihypertensive drug therapy and followed them at intervals of 0, 24 hours, 7 days, and 30 days. The study found that angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs) were the most frequently used class of drugs in monotherapy, accounting for 15%. In dual therapies, ARB combined with calcium channel blockers (CCBs) was used by 20% of patients, while 11% of patients were on triple therapy involving ARB, CCB, and diuretics.
