Hi doctor,
I am seven weeks pregnant. I have hypertension due to family history. My doctor prescribed me a tablet Labebet 100 mg, and I had a better outcome. But I was suggested to take a tablet Nicardia R 10 to reduce my blood pressure. So I have dizziness. Will it affect my baby?
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
Taking tablet Nicardia R 10 (Nifedipine sustained release) is completely safe during pregnancy. Initially, it might cause dizziness and headaches but will eventually improve after a few days. Hypertension is not safe during pregnancy. So increase the dosage of tablet Labetalol 100 mg (consult a specialist doctor, talk with him or her and take medicines with their consent) to control hypertension.

Thank you doctor for the reply,
How long should I continue the medicines?
Hi,
Welcome back to icliniq.com.
You have to continue until the blood pressure becomes normal. So monitor your blood pressure frequently at home.
