what are the examples of drugs use to treat hypertension in pregnancy?


I think treatment would depend upon if it was chronic hypertension (the mom always has high blood pressure), or pregnancy-induced hypertension, or hypertension as a symptom of pre-eclampsia.

Methyldopa is often used during pregnancy for controlling hypertension.

Drugs that are usually contra-indicated in pregnancy: ACE inhibitors, angiotensin-receptor blockers, and renin inhibitors (http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/pregnancy/PR00125).
