Hello,
I understand your concern and would explain that amlodipine is not safe during pregnancy as it can lead to abortion and malformation disorders in the growing child. The only safe drug for arterial hypertension in a pregnant woman is methyldopa.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
