Elaborate On Non-calcium Channel Beta Blockers

My husband and i have been trying to concieve for almost 2 years now. The last time I got pregnant and miscarried (2nd time) was in November. We went to see a fertility specialist and he asked about medications my husband takes. He thinks his amlodipine is the problem and recommended my husband go on a non-calcium channel beta blocker. Is there such a thing as a non-calcium channel beta blocker?

Hi there,

Beta blockers are available for hypertension which can be used, they are different from calcium channel blocker group, but they too have side effects and discuss them completely with the physician before using them.

Since you have been trying to conceive for 2 years now , you need to get completely evaluated, for the same.

Get blood tests for hormonal levels, ultrasound to check womb and ovaries and dye test to check for tubes.

Your partner's semen analysis is also essential. If he is having further issues you could consult a andrologist and /or consider intrauterine insemination.

Take folic acid while trying to conceive.

Hope this helps.
Regards.
