Best Answer

The drug class most often assoicated with rises in blood pressure and pulse rate is the stimulant category. Drugs such as cocaine and methamphetamine induce both hypertension and tachycardia. Medications such as ephedrine containing compounds, phenylephrine containing compounds, amphetamines, methylphenidate (Ritalin and many types), modafinil (Provigil) and many others will induce hypertension and tachycardia, as well. Of course, there are other drugs and medications, besides stimulants, which can cause these effects too.
