Hi,
Ovral and other hormonal contraceptives can cause fluid retention, edema which can lead to raised blood pressure. Combined oral pills containing both estrogen and progesterone can commonly cause Hypertension. Hence, you have been prescribed Meprate which does not contain estrogen and causes less water retention.
I would suggest you to continue with the drug and monitor your blood pressure every other day. Alternatively, you may also have been hypertensive previously which has increased following hormonal pill use. In that case, you may require regular anti-hypertensive drugs.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
