Can Tylenol And Ibuprofen Be Taken Along With High BP Medication?
Question: can I take tylenol and ibuprofrin if I take meds for high blood pressure I have the flu temp 100.8
Brief Answer:
Probably yes
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Tylenol won't affect your blood pressure significantly. Ibuprofen might raise it. Most patients won't be severely affected by drugs like ibuprofen. Please note that this is a general statement that cannot be applied to every case. Unless your blood pressure is way out of control, it's very likely that you won't have serious problems with ibuprofen.
I would advice using tylenol only, since it's usually effective and lacks most of the side effects that more potent drugs (like ibuprofen) have. If you're having influenza then you should also avoid aspirin.
I hope I've helped you!
If you'd like more information or clarifications, please let me know.
I'll be glad to answer.
Kind Regards!
