Many patients who suffer from increased or decreased blood pressure, when necessary to take other medicines, often think: will they affect blood pressure? What medicines do not affect blood pressure?
Drugs that do not in any way change the indices of blood pressure should have the following properties:
- do not act on the central nervous system, do not have a hypnotic effect;
- do not have a vasodilator and vasoconstrictor;
- do not have the properties of antispasmodics.
Of the many drugs, antibacterial and antifungal agents, antiseptics, enzyme preparations, vitamins and their analogs, cholagogue and laxatives, adsorbents, some analgesics, expectorants and all external agents have no influence on pressure.
Does Phenibut increase blood pressure?
Phenibut is a nootropic agent, shown in neuroses, psychopathic conditions, insomnia and anxious depression. It is a drug-tranquilizer, which reduces nervous tension, anxiety, phobias, improves sleep, potentiating effect of hypnotic drugs and neuroleptics. The action and pharmacological properties of the drug Fenibut are not aimed at either increasing or lowering blood pressure. At the same time, among the adverse events with the use of Fenibut often there are unmotivated jumps and fluctuations in the pressure indicators that pass after the drug is discontinued.
If you notice such side effects, tell the doctor about it. Most likely, he will cancel the drug and appoint you another, more suitable in your case.

Does Riboxin Increase Pressure?
Riboxin refers to antiarrhythmic drugs that stimulate oxidation and reduction processes, improving metabolism and providing tissues with energy and oxygen. Riboxin stimulates metabolic processes in the myocardium, improves coronary blood flow, reducing ischemic and necrotic sites in the muscle tissue of the heart. In some ways it is an anabolic.
The drug is used for violations of heart rhythm, ischemia, infarction, coronary artery insufficiency, cardiomyopathy, as well as cardiac muscle dystrophy due to excessive physical exertion or long-term illnesses.
Riboxin in no way has an effect on blood pressure: does not increase or decrease it, so the use of the drug to stabilize the pressure is not appropriate.
Does the pressure of Mexidol?
Mexidol is an antioxidant drug that inhibits the action of free radicals, which protects the blood vessels, especially in a state of hypoxia or stress. Mexidol strengthens the body and makes it immune from the effects of damaging agents, such as shock, eating and tissue supply disorders, cerebral blood flow disorders, toxins, including alcohol, etc.
The drug favorably affects the metabolic processes and blood circulation in the brain, facilitates the flow of blood through the capillary network, lowers cholesterol, restores normal sleep and improves brain activity.
There is no information on whether Mexidol exerts pressure. Experts argue that this drug can not affect blood pressure, neither in either direction. Meanwhile, reliable data that the pharmacodynamic properties of Mexidol may have an effect on blood pressure values have not been obtained.
Does picamilon increase blood pressure?
Pikamilon is a nootropic drug possessing the abilities of a tranquilizer, psychostimulant, antiaggregant and antioxidant. When the course of therapy with Pikamilon passes, physical and brain activity increases, memory processes improve, sleep improves, and a sense of fear and anxiety is arrested.
Pikamilon is indicated for depressive syndrome, asthenia, in the treatment of alcohol dependence, as well as for accelerating recovery after prolonged exertion, or before such loads.
The drug stabilizes tissue metabolism, improves cerebral circulation, reduces the resistance of the blood vessels of the brain, facilitates the capillary flow of blood.
The proven facts that Pikamilon can in any way influence blood pressure have not been received.
Detralex boosts pressure?
Detralex is a venotonic and venoprotective agent. Usually it is used to relieve the condition with varicose veins: with the feeling of "heavy legs", pain and fatigue of the lower extremities. Detralex eliminates stagnation of blood in the veins, lowers the permeability of the capillary wall, improves venous hemodynamics.
The drug is taken in the amount of 2 tablets per day - this is the optimal dosage Detralex for normalizing the state of venous vessels.
Does Detralex affect the blood pressure indicators in any way? No, Detralex does not increase the pressure and does not lower it: the therapeutic activity of the drug is aimed at increasing venous tone, accelerating venous emptying and reducing venous extensibility.
Betaserk increases blood pressure?
Betaserc is a histamine drug, with an active component of betagistin. Betaserk is used to eliminate and relieve symptoms in vestibular vertigo and Menier's syndrome:
- dizziness;
- a decrease in the auditory function;
- noise in the ears.
Betaserc does not directly affect arterial blood pressure. The purpose of the drug is to improve blood circulation in the vessels in the areas responsible for the function of the vestibular apparatus, and to facilitate central vestibular compensation.
When an overdose of the drug changes in blood pressure values were not observed.
Does nootropil increase blood pressure?
Nootropil - nootropic drug. Strengthens the processes of energy metabolism of cells in the brain, provides memory consolidation, facilitates signs of hypoxia. Thanks to Nootropil can significantly improve the effectiveness of training, improve the integrative ability of the brain. The drug is taken 1-2 capsules up to 4 times a day with worsening of the memorization process, asthenic syndrome, motor disorders, as well as brain trauma, hemorrhages, cerebrovascular sclerosis, chronic alcoholism.
Nootropil does not increase the pressure and does not lower it. In addition, the drug does not have a stimulating and stimulating effect, does not affect the function of the autonomic nervous system.
Tanakan increases blood pressure?
Tanakan is an angioprotective plant remedy (protecting vessels). Improves cellular metabolism, blood quality and capillary circulation, thereby improving the blood supply to the brain and, accordingly, its activity. Reduces peripheral and central edema.
Tanakan is used to treat violations of attention and memory, sleep disorders, mental retardation. The drug is prescribed for a circulatory disorder in the distal vessels and asthenic conditions.
Tanakan has no effect on blood pressure.
Does Aspirin Raise or Lower Pressure?
Aspirin refers to non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. This is a known antipyretic, anti-inflammatory and analgesic, which, moreover, effectively dilutes the blood.
The property of acetylsalicylic acid to lower intracranial pressure for migraines and pains in the head is explained by the ability of the drug to liquefy the blood. On indicators of blood pressure Aspirin does not affect.
Aspirin is not recommended for use at high blood pressure because of the risk of bleeding, due to a decrease in platelet aggregation.
People who have problems with blood pressure, it is important to carefully read the instructions to any drug before using it. It is also advisable to consult a treating doctor - a specialist will assess the patient's condition, taking into account all existing diseases, after which he will appoint the most suitable drug. A qualified doctor will be able to explain in detail and intelligently what drugs do not affect blood pressure: this will help to avoid further exacerbation of the disease and reduce the risk of BP.
