    This document from the American Society of Hypertension provides recommendations for preferred, acceptable, and unacceptable two-drug combinations for treating hypertension. The preferred combinations are ACE inhibitor/diuretic, ARB/diuretic, and ACE inhibitor/CCB, as these have been shown to be more effective at lowering blood pressure. Acceptable combinations include beta-blocker/diuretic and CCB/diuretic. Combinations such as ACE inhibitor/ARB or CCB/beta-blocker are not recommended.
