Patient's question:
My dad had an allergic reaction yesterday and wanted to take loratadine tablets. However, he has high blood pressure. Could you please tell me if high blood pressure patients can take loratadine tablets? Will loratadine tablets have any adverse effects on high blood pressure? I'm worried that high blood pressure patients might not be able to take them, and if they do, it could be bad.Doctor's answer:
If a patient has hypertension, whether they can take antihistamines mainly depends on the clinical symptoms, as antihistamines do not have a significant impact on blood pressure. If the symptoms of allergic reactions are very pronounced, antihistamines can be taken under the guidance of a physician, but it is necessary to carefully monitor blood pressure. It is recommended to follow a low-sodium, low-fat diet, ensure deep sleep, and pay attention to rest. Wishing you good health.
