Question I have high blood pressure aparently from taking one OTC Ibuprofin for a ruptured disc. What blood pressure medication will counteract high blood pressure caused by Ibuprofin?
Answer Hi Steve,
A link between infrequent use of ibuprofen and hypertension has been demnstrated for older women. I would suggest you watch your BP before you plan to sue any drug for that. While taking iuprofen there is no need to take a drug to counter the possibility of hypertension.
