What other pain relievers are safe for hypertension besides advil?



Advil, also known as ibuprofen, is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) commonly used for pain relief. However, it is not recommended for individuals with hypertension, as it can increase blood pressure [2]. Fortunately, there are other pain relievers that are safe for people with hypertension.

Acetaminophen, also known as Tylenol, is a commonly used pain reliever that is safe for individuals with hypertension [2]. It works by blocking pain signals to the brain and reducing fever [3]. It is important to note that acetaminophen can be harmful to the liver if taken in large doses, so it is important to follow the recommended dosage instructions [3].

Other options for pain relief include topical creams and patches, such as lidocaine and capsaicin [2]. These products are applied directly to the skin and work by numbing or heating the affected area to reduce pain [3].

It is always important to consult with a healthcare provider before taking any new medications, especially if you have hypertension or other health conditions [3]. They can provide guidance on the best pain relief options for your specific situation.
