If you have high blood pressure or are taking medication to help manage high blood pressure, you may be wondering which over-the-counter (OTC) pain reliever may be right for you. TYLENOL® is here to help you answer some important questions.
Can I take TYLENOL® if I have high blood pressure?
Pain relievers may affect your blood pressure.
TYLENOL® is the #1 doctor recommended pain relief brand for those with high blood pressure.
If you have questions on whether TYLENOL® is right for you, talk to your doctor.
Do NSAIDs raise or lower blood pressure?
NSAIDs like ibuprofen (e.g. Advil®, MOTRIN®) and naproxen sodium (e.g. Aleve®) can produce several effects on your body that may further worsen high blood pressure. NSAIDs can:
Impact sodium and water retention in the kidneys
Increase resistance of blood vessels (constricts blood flow), which can raise blood pressure.
Additionally, NSAIDs have a clearly established mechanism of interaction between certain high blood pressure treatments, such as diuretics, and can reduce the effectiveness of previously prescribed high blood pressure treatments.
