Which high blood pressure medication is more effective? Only your doctor can suggest you after seeing your condition. It will depend on many others related diseases and conditions of you.. The American Heart Association states, "You may have what's called 'white coat hypertension'; that means your blood pressure goes up when you're at the doctor's office. Monitoring at home will help you measure your true blood pressure and can provide your doctor with a log of blood pressure measurements over time. This is helpful in diagnosing and preventing potential health problems."

Which hypertensive medicine is more effective ... It depends on your blood pressure level & other comobid (associated other diseases) conditions. If you have a class 1 (mild) hypertension & you are prescribed with a more potent drug you may suffer from hypotension. Again if you have Bronchial asthma, you are not going to suit with any beta blocker (eg, atenolol). If you are suffering from a renal artery stenosis, ACE inhibors (eg, captopril) are not suitable for you. If you are pregnant, only alpha blockers are going to help you. So better effectiveness of drug is individualized according to his or her condition.
