Here are some other classes of antihypertensive medications: alpha blockers central acting agents (ie clonidine) direct vasodilatory agents (minoxidil, hydralazine, etc) long-acting nitrates (ie NitroDur patch, Imdur, etc) although generally not prescribed solely for hypertension. The working assumption is that your physician has ruled out secondary causes of hypertension.
