Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When two or more drugs are used to treat hypertension, each drug should come from a different class. Hydrochlorothiazide is a diuretic and nadolol is a beta blocker, so this choice is appropriate. Hydralazine and minoxidil are vasodilators. Spironolactone and amiloride are potassium-sparing diuretics. Trichlormethiazide and hydrochlorothiazide are both thiazide diuretics.
