Generic medications like lisinopril and hydrochlorothiazide are typically the cheapest blood pressure medication options. These generic ACE inhibitors and diuretics cost as little as $4-15 per month at most pharmacies. Lisinopril (generic Prinivil) averages $8 monthly, while hydrochlorothiazide costs around $4-6 monthly without insurance. Amlodipine, a calcium channel blocker, runs about $10-12 monthly. Walmart's $4 generic program and other pharmacy discount programs include several blood pressure medications. Consult your healthcare provider to determine which affordable option is appropriate for your specific condition.
