Abstract
Drug-induced hypertension is often an unrecognized cause of resistant or secondary hypertension. It is defined as hypertension resulting from the unintended effect of a drug or from a drug's antagonistic effect on antihypertensive medications. The main mechanisms of drug-induced hypertension, when categorized broadly, include volume retention and sympathomimetic effects. These mechanisms along with management strategies will be further discussed in this article.
