(NAPSA)—People with high blood pressure should always read the labels of any medications they maytake. Both prescription and common over-the-counter medicines such as cold medicines, cough syrups and allergy pills should be checked for vasoconstrictors. This can cause a rise in blood pressure by constricting the blood vessels. Even topical medicines you don’t swallow, such as hemorrhoid cream, should be checked.
