Because Ciprofloxacin is lipophilic, it has the ability to cross the blood–brain barrier. [61] The 2013 FDA label warns of nervous system effects. Ciprofloxacin, like other fluoroquinolones, is known to trigger seizures or lower the seizure threshold, and may cause other central nervous system adverse effects.
Fluoroquinolones can increase the rate of rare but serious tears in the aorta by 31% compared to other antibiotics. [30] People at increased risk include those with aortic aneurysm, hypertension, certain genetic conditions such as Marfan syndrome and Ehlers-Danlos syndrome , and the elderly.

Valsartan may increase the concentration of lithium. [7] Valsartan and other angiotensin-related blood pressure medications may interact with the antibiotics co-trimoxazole or ciprofloxacin to increase risk of sudden death due to cardiac arrest. [30]
Antihypertensive therapy seeks to prevent the complications of high blood pressure, such as stroke, heart failure, kidney failure and myocardial infarction. Evidence suggests that a reduction of blood pressure by 5 mmHg can decrease the risk of stroke by 34% and of ischaemic heart disease by 21%.
The link between dehydration and blood pressure. Dehydration can sometimes cause low blood pressure that can lead to fainting, but not drinking enough water also can result in high blood pressure ...
An antihypotensive, also known as a vasopressor, is an agent that raises blood pressure by constricting blood vessels, thereby increasing systemic vascular resistance. This is different from inotropes which increase the force of cardiac contraction. Some substances do both (e.g. dopamine, dobutamine).
