HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE & DIABETES
If you have high blood pressure or diabetes; choosing the correct cold or flu product
is especially important. With so many cold & flu products available to you, it can
be difficult to find the right one.
For those with high blood pressure, the ingredient of concern is a nasal decongestant.
Currently there are 2 different oral decongestants that are used in cold & flu medications;
pseudoephedrine (PSE) and phenylephrine (PE). These medications relieve sinus pressure
by constricting blood vessels, which is a concern if you have high blood pressure
or diabetes. Diabetics should also be aware of products that contain sugar, such
as cough syrups.
Even among products marketed to those with high blood pressure, there are still
multiple variations. Simply because your product says “HBP”, doesn’t mean it contains
the right combination of other active-ingredients for your symptoms. SymptomPak™
is designed to assure safe and accurate relief. Using SymptomPak™,
your doctor can easily identify each ingredient and give instructions on their safe
use. SymptomPak™ is the only product that has the flexibility to accurately
treat the entire family, including those with specific considerations.
