Hi,

Your daughter has pregnancy induced hypertension. And we need to keep her blood pressure below 140/90. The usual tablets used for this are Labetolol and alpha methyl dopa or depin.
Gardinal is used just to alleviate anxiety and is usually given at night times, so that she has a good sleep.
L-arginine are amino acid granules to help in babies growth, its a supplement and not compulsory to take it.
I would advise you to discuss the prescribed anti hypertensive with her doctor and also keep a detailed chart of her Blood pressure values every 6 hours .
Also, I assume her blood test and ultrasound examination have been done and are normal. NST(fetal heart trace ) is also recommended.

Hope this helps.
Regards.
