Blood pressure drugs may improve COVID-19 survival
Like with any underlying condition, taking medicine to control it is critical for lowering risks for the effects of COVID. No evidence for using BP medications as a preventive treatment.
A review of research has found that patients taking certain drugs for high blood pressure had a lower risk of severe COVID-19 and death than patients who were not taking these medications.
However, he emphasizes that the study did not investigate whether giving these drugs to other patients with COVID-19 might improve their outcome. The effects of ACE inhibitors and ARBs in COVID-19 patients who are not already taking them are unknown.
