Is There Any Other Drug Than Ramipril To Use While Trying For Conception?

Hi, i am 32, over weight and have been on 10mg ramipril for around a year now for high blood pressure! However i am getting married in april and would like to try to get pregnant soon after. Although i am aware ramipril has to be stopped during pregnancy. Therefore is there another drug i could be prescribed which will be safe to take while tryin and while pregnant? Thanks julie

Hi,

Many other groups of drugs are available for use in pregnancy, drugs such as Labetalol, Methyldopa and slow release nifidipine can be used. In case of hypertensive emergencies, Hydralazine can be used. All beta-blockers except Atenolol can be used during pregnancy. Kindly consult your physician in order to select the appropriate drug.

Hope that was helpful. Let me know if I can assist you further.
