colds and am told this drug is contraindicted for using a decongestant. I am very sick when I get a cold and drip for 3 or 4 days. Are their any high BP drugs I can take with a decongestant.
I take micardis HCT 40mg/12.5. My pressure is well controlled on the drug but I get frequent?

People with high blood pressure should be aware that the use of decongestants may raise blood pressure or interfere with the effectiveness of some prescribed blood pressure medications. Many over-the-counter cold and flu preparations contain decongestants such as:
Ephedrine
Levmetamfetamine
Naphazoline
Oxymetazoline
Phenylephrine
Phenylpropanolamine
Propylhexedrine
Pseudoephedrine
Synephrine
Tetrahydrozoline
It does not matter what type of drug you take to manage your blood pressure you still should not take a decongestant .
