Can hypertensive patients take cephalosporin

Under normal circumstances, patients with high blood pressure can take cephalosporins. Cephalosporin is a broad-spectrum antibiotic that belongs to the beta-lactam group of antibiotics, and the said antibiotic is effective for a wide range of infections such as those caused by gram-positive cocci and gram-negative bacilli in the respiratory, digestive, genito-urinary, and dermatologic systems. In addition, cephalosporin is a drug that does not cause significant fluctuations or increases in blood pressure in patients with high blood pressure. If the patient with high blood pressure has been applying antihypertensive drugs for a long time, and the blood pressure is well controlled, taking cephalosporin at this time will not cause a transient increase in blood pressure due to taking the drug. However, it is not recommended to take cephalosporin while taking antihypertensive drugs, and it is usually recommended to take cephalosporin at an interval of 15-30 minutes.
