What over the counter medicine to take when taking ziac for high blood pressure medicine?


what over the counter medicine to take for headaches and sinus problems when taking ziac for high blood pressure

I would talk to your pharmacist,because with high blood pressure medicine or any thing like that you have to be so careful about what you take!!

I was told that if you have high blood pressure you should stick with Robitussin. Call the pharmacist to be sure though please. I have high blood pressure and I can't remember where I heard that.

You have to be very careful of what products you use. Don't use anything with ephedra in it. No sudafed, actifed, and nothing that says "D". I mean no product with the letter "D" after the name, like Robitussin-D. These products have decongestants in them that speed up the heart rate and cause high blood pressure. Your best bet is to go to your local pharmacy and ask your pharmacist what medicine would be appropriate to take so that your blood pressure is not affected.

Husband and I both have high blood pressure. He is on Verapamil and I am on Lisinipril... Our doc has allowed us to take tylenol and benadryl.

** please as others have said first consult your doc OR ask the pharmacist **
