The allergist just recently had to switch our 22 year old son to p-ephed-cpm. The little allergy capsule he has taken all of this life became unavailable. Could this new table cause high blood pressure because all of a sudden his blood pressure has been high?
Q: could p-ephed-cpm cause high blood pressure?

Hi Deborah,
Thank you for your question! High blood pressure is a serious side effect associated with pseudoephedrine use. You can read more about the side effects of pseudoephedrine here. I would recommend that your son speak with his doctor and see if there's another medication that he could try.
Best of luck,
Casey
