is there a link between zoladex and high blood pressure?

Question

zoladex is an injection that is used to control hormones

Answer 1

High blood pressure is listed under the 'less common side effects' of the information for this drug, so there is a possibility that it can cause such a thing. Fluid retention and swelling are listed as 'more common' side effects, and that can lead to higher blood pressure in some cases.

If your doctor is aware of the blood pressure issue, and has taken no excessive actions (i.e., they didn't instantly remove the implant), you should be fine for the duration of treatment. Cutting down on salt and highly processed foods may help limit blood pressure, but only try that after discussing it with your doctor. If you've been told to limit salt, do that as soon as you can, and avoid packaged mixes, especially of rice/pasta, etc., as these are quite high in sodium. Read the labels of your food choices really well, and you should do fine, they show sodium content.
