Does Lisinopril Intake During Pregnancy Cause Any Harm?
I am about 4-6 weeks pregnant and was taking 20 mg of lisinopril a day. I stopped because my blood pressure was not high until last weekend. I think I only took it a few days while I am pregnant - do I need to worry about the side effects of lisinopril?

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I really appreciate your concern if your are hypertensive patient and pregnant then ACE inhibitor(Lisinopril) is not is not advisable for you the best drug to control the blood pressure during the pregnancy is "Methyldopa" if the blood pressure is 140/90 then this could be control with diet alone, discus this with your doctor, have a nice day.
