They shoot my BP way up. I started taking some Voltaran (sp?) for arthritis in my knees and had real success with it. When I went to my onco for a checkup, he checked my BP. Didn't seem worried, but told me it was 185/100 and he thought I should come off the the script. He told me to take Arthritis-strength Tylenol. The same thing happens to me with decongestants (the old Sudafed). I'm very careful now when I take anything, If I really need something, I try to make it CoricidanHBP or the Tylenol/acetominiphan that I can find.
I'm rationing them now because they're almost impossible to find. Any Tylenol product seems to be.
My son's doc told me to give him Tylenol Jr if he gets a headache. The brand name seems to work well for him and he doesn't mind taking it, we don't use it that often, so I do look for it. I ended up getting a Walgreen's substitute last time because I couldn't find any Tylenol on the shelf.
Seems something funky is going on with them. I know they've had a lot of recalls, but I thought they were big enough to overcome that. The pharmacist says Benedryl is the same way.
