Hi,
There are multiple drugs to maintain BP. Better if you can tell us all the medications he is currently taking which will help us in guiding you. Since systolic blood pressure is raisd more he needs vasodilators like calcium channel blockers and also ARB group of drugs will help.
Hope this helps you.
