Can You Take These Medications with Low BP?
1. Paracetamol 500 mg – Yes, it's safe
Paracetamol does not affect blood pressure
Safe for headache even if BP is low
Make sure to stay hydrated, as dehydration can worsen both headache and low BP
2. DSR (Domperidone + Pantoprazole) – Caution
Pantoprazole (the PPI) is usually safe
Domperidone can lower blood pressure slightly and may cause dizziness in some people, especially those already hypotensive (like 90/60)
👉 Safer option: Ask your doctor if Pantoprazole alone (without domperidone) would be enough for your gastric symptoms.
Next Steps
Monitor for symptoms like dizziness, fainting, or blurred vision.
If your BP of 90/60 is usual for you and you're not feeling weak or dizzy, it's usually not harmful.
If you feel unwell with that BP, consult a doctor — underlying causes like anemia, dehydration, or thyroid issues should be ruled out.
