Committee Recommendations
The Surrey Heartlands Integrated Care System Area Prescribing Committee (APC) has agreed the 1st line use of Angiotensin Receptor Blockers (ARBs) instead of an Angiotensin Converting Enzyme (ACE) inhibitor, for adults with hypertension where the use of an ARB or ACE is deemed equally appropriate.
Losartan or candesartan - 1st line
Alternative options:
Irebsartan - Green
Telmisartan - Green
Valsartan - Green
Olmesartan - Green
Azlisartan - do not initiate in new patients
Eprosartan - do not initiate in new patients
Local hypertension guidelines / pathways will be reviewed and updated in light of this decision
