Are slimming meds safe to use when on menopause and on hypertension meds?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
"Slimming meds"?: If you mean diet pills, then you should consult the MD who is giving you your anti hypertension medications. Some diet pills contain amphetamine derivatives which can make your blood pressure go much higher in spite of treatment.
