Hypertension drugs (Beta-blockers)
Examples: atenolol (Tenormin), carvedilol (Coreg), metoprolol (Lopressor, Toprol), propranolol (Inderal), sotalol (Betapace), timolol (Timoptic)
This category of prescription meds is prescribed to lower blood pressure and slow down the heart rate. Aside from that, however, hypertension drugs also cause memory problems by blocking essential chemicals to the brain.
