Ask your doctor, my doctor prescribed methyldopa for my high blood pressure, but I am breastfeeding, not pregnant. If you have high blood pressure, your doctor will know whats best for you and your baby.

If you are pregnant and have pre-existing hypertension, it is important for it to be well controlled.

In some women hypertension is brought on by the pregnancy, this usually does not develop before the 20th week.

Occasionally, other abnormalities develop, for example the appearance of protein in the urine and abnormalities of blood clotting. This is called pre-eclampsia and it requires regular checks and sometimes admission so that a closer eye can be kept and other treatment given if needed.

Your doctor will ensure that you are regularly monitored so that any potential complications are avoided.Do not worry though in the vast majority of cases that are well looked after there are no adverse consequences.

AnswerThis is from a published medical paper =) Hope it helps!

Pharmacologic therapy could benefit mother and baby when diastolic pressure exceeds 110mmHg. Preeclampsia must be followed closely. Methyldopa (eg, Aldomet) and hydralazine (eg, Apresoline) are still the drugs of choice during pregnancy, although the safety and efficacy of calcium channel blockers and beta-blockers appear well established.

All drug are prescribed on the principle that "for this patient, the benefits outweigh the risks". No drugs are 100% safe (since there's always one patient who reacts really oddly), however all blood pressure drugs are some of the safest (they're used frequently, so are well tested). Doctors only prescribed drugs that they are capable of using - they won't prescribe anything "new" , "untested" or "odd".

Can pregnant women take prescription medications?

It depends on the medicine. Some medicines are safe in pregnancy, and some are not. Others are safe during pregnancy but not if breastfeeding. If you are already on certain prescription medication and you are planning to get pregnant or you have just found out you are pregnant, call your doctor or your pharmacist and see if the medicine is still safe. If not, ask your doctor if there are safe alternatives and get a prescription for those. If you are worried about a medicine that you have not started to take yet, just make sure that your doctor knows you are pregnant when you go to see them and then they will know to prescribe something that is safe for pregnancy. When you go to pick up the prescription, you can also double-check with the pharmacist to be sure it is safe. Also, over-the-counter medicines are not all necessarily safe during pregnancy, either (for instance, Tylenol is okay but aspirin is bad). It's a good idea to ask your doctor or your pharmacist before you take any kind of medicine, prescription or over-the-counter.

When a horse is pregnant can you give it medicine to clear all the animals in its stomach?

Now why would you want to do that? Does the horse have worms in its system? Check with a veterinarian first to see if your horse does have worms, and if it does, give it dewormer (which is a kind of medicine). Your veterinarian will also tell you which dewormer is safe for pregnant mares and which are not.
