I am looking for a compound noun which describes drugs/a drug expected to be taken perpetually, such as hypertensive agents. In German we say "Dauermedikament". A literal translation could be "permanent medication".
In English we might mainly think of the adverb to take a medication *indefinitely* but if you want an adjective + noun I would better suggest ongoing medication ... the ongoing speaking to the lack of an intended stop date
