Can you take the sleep aid zzz quil if you have high blood pressure?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: The active ingredient is Diphenhydramine hcl - an over the counter anti-histamine that is generally very safe even in the elderly. That said, blood pressure should be checked with any new medication, even over the counter meds.
