Many OTC medications do not mix well with health conditions such as glaucoma, high blood pressure and thyroid problems to name a few. Your mother's best bet would be to call and ask her doctor. Everyone is different and some medicines to treat conditions may even be canceled out by OTC meds.

No she can't, but she can ask for CoricidinHBP (for high blood pressure) by the same drug manufacturer. She can ask the pharmacist about the different OTC options she has.

This drug is used to relieve coughs and colds. Hypertension can interact with Coricidin, so it is best to contact your physician before taking this medication. People with high blood pressure should check with their doctor before taking any cough or cold medication because they can cause blood pressure to go out of control.

Coricidin does not have a decongestant in it which is the main thing in cold medications that cause high blood pressure to become worse. It should be ok for her.
