Which medication is used to treat high blood pressure?

  1. Insulin

  2. Antibiotics

  3. Anticoagulants

  4. Antihypertensives

The correct answer is: Antihypertensives

Antihypertensives are medications specifically used to treat high blood pressure. They work by helping to relax blood vessels, allowing blood to flow more easily and reducing the pressure on the walls of the arteries. This helps to lower blood pressure and decrease the risk of complications associated with high blood pressure, such as heart disease and stroke. Insulin is used to treat diabetes, antibiotics are used to treat bacterial infections, and anticoagulants are used to prevent blood clots, none of which are directly related to treating high blood pressure.
