The clinical pharmacology of antihypertensive drugs in general is reviewed. Particular attention is given to the drugs which inhibit renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) and the calcium channel blocker, amlodipine as these have been well characterised in cats and, to a certain extent, in dogs (RAAS inhibition) to support their therapeutic use in veterinary practice. Where available, data on the development of these drugs as veterinary products is presented.
