Why is it that antabuse (disulfiram) cointraindicated in hypertension?

It's not: It's not contraindicated in hypertension. It is contraindicated in cases of renal impairment and severe heart/aortic diseases. These conditions may be caused or co-exist with hypertension, but a well controlled hypertension or that w/out kidney/heart disease is not a contraindication in and of itself.
