Can Claritin, ingredient Loratadine, for allergies cause a rise in blood pressure?


My blood pressure is high and I'm wondering if it's the Claritin for allergies. I'm not finding out anything on line as this being a side effect. I'm not on any blood pressure medication, but have to watch my sodium and exercise to maintain.

Has anyone experienced this?

Antihistamines block histmines. Histamines dilate blood vessels which would cause a bp to lower. If you block the histamine, my thought would be that your blood pressure could raise slightly. But I'm not a doctor. So your best bet would be to call you gp and ask one of the nurses at the desk if it could be the cause.

Oh and for future information decongestants can cause an increase in bp.
I use Claratin and my blood pressure's fine. Check with yur doc.
