Is Amoxicillin And Clavulanate Safe To Be Taken While Having High BP?
My husband went to urgent care today for a cold and a cough that he has had for a couple of weeks. They also noticed he had a ear infection and his blood pressure was very high. 164/92 and was taken again 142/90. They gave him cough medication , agar 80 MCG oral inhaler and Amoxicillin and Clavulanate potassium tablets 875 mg/25mg. My question is can he take this medication and can he wait to see his doctor on Monday for his High Blood Pressure or should he go to the ER. Madeliene Carmona.My husband is 58 years old, 201 pounds

Hello Carmona
I have gone through the medical details provided by you of your husband and i totally understand your concern. I want to assure you that dont worry he can take these medications safely even in high BP. These are just ANTIBIOTICS and will help treat infection. And your husband's Blood pressure is not that high, its just slightly raised (142/90 mmhg) and probably it will settle down by itself once infection is cured.
I wish him Good Health
