Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
No, amoxicillin clavulinic acid or sulphamethoxazole can not cause elevation in the blood pressure.
So these drugs are not cause for rise in your blood pressure readings.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
