Zyrtec, brand name for cetirizine, is an antihistamine often used to reduce and prevent allergic reactions. Seasonal allergies, hay fever, or pet allergies are common reasons that adults and children need allergy drugs.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This over-the-counter (OTC) medication can help relieve rhinitis (inflammation of the mucus membrane in the nose) and other symptoms of allergies, such as stuffy nose (nasal congestion), runny nose, sneezing, hives, or red and itchy eyes. While regular Zyrtec is not known for raising blood pressure, another formulation of this medication, Zyrtec-D, is not recommended for people with high blood pressure because it contains pseudoephedrine.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"can-zyrtec-raise-blood-pressure\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Can Zyrtec raise blood pressure?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Zyrtec by itself has numerous potential <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.singlecare.com\/blog\/zyrtec-side-effects\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">side effects<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, including <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.singlecare.com\/blog\/does-zyrtec-make-you-drowsy\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">drowsiness<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, nausea, dryness of mouth, stomach discomfort, diarrhea, blurred vision, dizziness, and decreased blood pressure. When using Zyrtec for allergy treatment, be aware of its various forms in order to reduce unwanted side effects. While Zyrtec is considered to be a safe medication to use with high blood pressure (hypertension) or heart problems, the decongestant aspect of the combination drug Zyrtec-D does raise concerns.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Decongestants can <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nhs.uk\/medicines\/pseudoephedrine\/common-questions-about-pseudoephedrine\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">restrict the blood flow<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to the nostrils and potentially affect blood vessels throughout the body. Zyrtec-D and other combination medications, such as Claritin-D and Allegra-D, contain pseudoephedrine (Sudafed), which could increase one&rsquo;s heart rate and blood pressure. Older patients with heart disease or other medical conditions have an increased risk of adverse effects with these medications. Pseudoephedrine could potentially interact with heart and blood pressure medications and should be avoided by those who take them.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"can-you-take-zyrtec-if-you-have-high-blood-pressure\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Can you take Zyrtec if you have high blood pressure?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Zyrtec is a histamine blocker and safe to use if you have high blood pressure. Histamine is a chemical naturally found and produced in the body as a reaction to allergens. The effects of Zyrtec are noticeable within 30 minutes to an hour of taking it. Zyrtec comes in several forms, including 24-hour relief pills, and is considered to be safe for long-term use of treating allergies.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"can-you-take-zyrtec-d-if-you-have-high-blood-pressure\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Can you take Zyrtec-D if you have high blood pressure?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Do not take Zyrtec-D or any other allergy or cold medicines containing pseudoephedrine if you have high blood pressure. The decongestant ingredients of Zyrtec-D can constrict blood vessels, causing an increase in blood pressure. In addition, older people taking medication for hypertension are further advised against taking Zyrtec-D in order to avoid <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.michiganmedicine.org\/health-lab\/why-high-blood-pressure-and-cold-meds-dont-mix\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">drug interactions<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. When seeking medical attention for allergy treatment, patients should disclose their medical history and any prescription medications that they currently take to their healthcare provider.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"what-allergy-medicine-is-best-for-high-blood-pressure\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What allergy medicine is best for high blood pressure?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To avoid complications, consider all health concerns when selecting an allergy medicine. You may be surprised to hear that some medications, including decongestants, could be high in sodium, which has the potential to increase one&rsquo;s blood pressure. The consumer is responsible for reviewing the ingredient list (active and inactive) to be sure that a medication does not cause harmful side effects. If you are unsure about the best OTC allergy relief for your medical needs, consult a pharmacist or healthcare provider.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While many allergy medications provide similar relief, choose one that treats your specific needs. If you&rsquo;re concerned about daytime sleepiness, look for a non-drowsy option. Individuals with high blood pressure have several types of allergy medications to choose from when seeking relief.<\/span><\/p>\n<table class=\" singlecare-table\">\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>\n<h2 id=\"best-otc-allergy-medications-for-high-blood-pressure\"><span class=\"title\">Best OTC allergy medications for high blood pressure<\/span><\/h2>\n<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr class=\"header-row\">\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Brand name<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Generic name<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hours of relief<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><a class=\"cta-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.singlecare.com\/prescription\/zyrtec\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Zyrtec<\/span><\/a><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">cetirizine<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">24 hour<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><a class=\"cta-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.singlecare.com\/prescription\/allegra-allergy\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Allegra<\/span><\/a><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">fexofenadine<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">12 and 24 hour<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><a class=\"cta-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.singlecare.com\/prescription\/claritin\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Claritin<\/span><\/a><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">loratadine<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">12 and 24 hour<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><a class=\"cta-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.singlecare.com\/prescription\/benadryl-allergy-extra-str\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Benadryl<\/span><\/a><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">diphenhydramine<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">6 hours as needed<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><a class=\"cta-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.singlecare.com\/prescription\/allergy-24-hr\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Allergy 24-hr<\/span><\/a><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">fexofenadine<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">24 hour<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Stop taking allergy medicine and seek medical attention if you are experiencing heart palpitations or an irregular heartbeat, such as atrial fibrillation.
