Why This Matters
High blood pressure affects millions of adults worldwide. For people managing hypertension, every medication—prescription or over-the-counter—can influence blood pressure control.

Increase heart rate
Cause fluid retention
Worsen hypertension symptoms
Understanding these risks helps you avoid unexpected complications.
