Blood Pressure Medication

There has been some speculation in the media about the safety of certain blood pressure and heart tablets called ACE inhibitors or ARBs (medicines ending in “pril” or “sartan”). The reports suggest that they may be associated with harm in those patients with Covid-19. Cardiology experts agree that currently there is a lack of any evidence to support a harmful link with these medicines in the context of the Covid-19 outbreak. We recommend that you continue treatment with your usual medication.
