What Causes Increase In The BP Level While On Clofazimine?

My patient is on a Medes called clofazimine since she started taking the pill yesterday I noticed an increase in her blood pressure which just read 184/105. I tried to convince her to go to the emergency but she insist on laying down and think it will go down, she has taken 1 clonidine tab what is my next step.

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your, the given reading of blood pressure is not due to the medicine taken by patient neither it is the emergency but better to monitor the pressure for few days, and in absence of clinical symptoms no needs to worry, neither it is like to see the ER hope this information helps.
I find this answer helpful
