Antihypertensive Drugs and Perinatal Outcomes in Hypertensive Women Attending a Specialized Tertiary Hospital

CONCLUSIONS: Labetalol was the most commonly prescribed antihypertensive drug in this cohort, and women on combined antihypertensive medications had significantly higher maternal and fetal complications. A larger prospective study including hypertensive women with or without antihypertensive medications in more than one center is needed to evaluate the effect of these drugs on perinatal outcomes.PMID:35356366 | PMC:PMC8961539 | DOI:10.5001/omj.2022.43
