Unfortunately, all these features are hard to find in a single drug, but every day makes more progress in achieving the objective. Modern treatments have demonstrated efficacy of 50 to 70%, and by combining two or more drugs are able to control blood pressure over 90% of cases.
The objective of the consultation is whether the pressure is controlled with treatment, and if you did not take medication is impossible to know. The drugs exert their action during a given time; past it are metabolized and eliminated from the body.
