Assessment of Prescribing Practice of Anti-Hypertensive Medications in a Sample of Iraqi Patients with Diabetes

Conclusions: This study reveals that CCBs are the most commonly prescribed antihypertensive class among diabetic patients in Iraq, followed by ARBs, diuretics, and ACEIs. While this pattern shows partial alignment with guidelines recommending ACEIs and ARBs as first-line treatments, the preference for CCBs suggests a need for further studies exploring the reasons behind these prescribing patterns.
