Which antihypertensive is contraindicated in pregnancy?

Question

My BP has been on the higher side and I was on some medicine before getting pregnant. Now im worried it might not be safe. Will ask my doc but wanted to understand a bit beforehand.

I panicked when my BP shot up and my doctor changed my regular medicine because she said some standard BP tablets are contraindicated. It's a very common issue, so don't worry, just let your gynac handle the prescription.

Yes, certain BP medicines are highly unsafe during pregnancy. My doctor told me to strictly avoid taking any regular family members' BP pills. If your BP is high, please visit your gynac and get the safe prescription.

I had high BP during my pregnancy and my doctor told me that certain common BP drugs, especially ACE inhibitors, are not safe for the baby. They put me on a pregnancy-safe alternative. Please check with your doctor immediately before taking anything.

Please don't self-medicate for blood pressure during pregnancy. Ask your gynac, they will prescribe exactly what is safe for you and your baby.

Pratibha Srivastava · Answer

Please do not take any blood pressure medicines on your own during pregnancy! Some BP tablets are strictly contraindicated because they can harm the baby, so you must consult your gynac. Only they can prescribe the safe ones for you.

BP ki goli bina doctor se pooche bilkul mat lena, behan. Kuch dawaiyaan bachhe ke liye achhi nahi hoti hain. Doctor se poonchh kar hi sahi dawa shuru karo.

I am not very sure about medicine names, but my doctor said we must stop or change certain BP medications even before trying to conceive. Please ask your gynecologist to guide you safely.
