Lead: -First paragraph has a concise lead and lists the topics to be discussed

-Second paragraph of the lead has information not fully discussed in further sections of the article such as side effects and cost of antihypertensive drugs

Content:

-There are sections in the article that are more bare in content than others, such as endothelium blockers and history of antihypertensives. Some sections have more writing while others are lacking in the same topic of information, for example side effects

-Citations are missing in many areas of the article

-Very few (about 2) references are within the past decade

Organization and writing quality:

-Article is well-written, concise and to the point

Images and Media:

-Few images of the chemical structure of the drug class. Not sure how this enhances the article

Talk-page:

-Very limited, no consistent updates

Overall impression:

-Still lots to work on

-Can expand sections that have very limited information (add for example mechanism of action, side effects, add in citations)

-Check new guidelines for hypertensive therapy recommendations. Those in the article may be out-of-date
