> When I went to the emergency room with a hypertensive crisis, they gave me loratidine. Which makes me wonder if the faster-acting benzodiazepines might not be just as effective as nifedipine at bringing blood pressure down. A friend of mine who presented with exceedingly high blood pressure after binge drinking was also given benzos to bring his bp down.
Hi,
I'm wondering if you meant lorazepam? Loratidine is Claritin, an antihistamine. If you had a benzo, I think maybe you mean Ativan/lorazepam.Thanks,
