What cold medicines can my father on blood pressure medicines with glaucoma take?


My father is 79 and takes blood pressure medicine so he can't take any of the regular over the counter cold medicines. Because of glaucoma he can't take Coricidin which is the usual alternative for people in his situation. Is there any medication, over the counter or by prescription, that he could take for coughing and congestion? I worry that on about the third night of not being able to sleep he'll just not care and take one of the regular cold medicines and suffer a stroke or whatever adverse effects there are.

  1. purple sticky punch, works for me every time.

  2. I recommend you ask the pharmacist.

  3. I would not advise that he is a candidate for any cold remedy or anti-histamine. Prostate is another issue, where there is harm. I would consider him as a non-user therefore, and he just can’t do it, must put up with the symptoms.

  4. The best person to ask would be his doctor …

    stay safe!
