Coricidin HBP Cold & Cough Relief

Coricidin HBP is formulated for people who need cold and cough relief but have to think twice about what's in the bottle. Standard multi-symptom cold medicines often contain decongestants like pseudoephedrine or phenylephrine, which can raise blood pressure — a real concern for anyone managing hypertension. Coricidin HBP leaves the decongestant out, so you get symptom relief without the ingredient your doctor may have warned you to avoid.

That's the whole point of the "HBP" name: it's built for high blood pressure patients. If you've been told to steer clear of decongestants, this is the line pharmacists tend to point you toward for coughs, sneezing, runny nose, and chest congestion during a cold.

We carry it in two formats. The Coricidin HBP Cold & Cough tablets (16 per box) pair a cough suppressant with an antihistamine to quiet a hacking cough and dry up a runny nose — handy to keep on hand for the season. For those who prefer liquid-filled capsules or want an alcohol-free option, the Coricidin HBP Cold & Cough softgels (bottle of 20, 200 mg / 10 mg strength) deliver the same decongestant-free approach in an easy-to-swallow form.

A few things worth knowing before you buy: because these contain a cough suppressant (dextromethorphan) and an antihistamine (chlorpheniramine), the antihistamine can cause drowsiness — take that into account before driving. And while these are safe for many people with high blood pressure, they're not a substitute for reviewing your medications with your doctor or pharmacist, especially if you take other prescriptions.
