A member asked:

Hi, to everyone...my quastion is : what the anti cough ( antitussive ) whach can use for hypertensive patients without hazard.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Cough: You do not list hypertension as a condition or any medications you are on for HTN. If you have a confirmed diagnosis of hypertension, avoid decongestants in your over the counter medications. Suppressing a cough is not always a good idea especially if the cough is productive and your body is trying to get rid of an irritant or infection.
