How Safe Is To Take Tozar-h For High Blood Pressure During Pregnancy?

I am a 38 year old african woman and am currently in my first month of pregnacy. I weigh about 90kgs and was on Tozar H to regulate high blood pressure. Are there any risks to me and the baby in continuing with this drug while pregnant. I have a history of high blood pressure in pregnancy

Hello ma'am and welcome.

There is evidence of risk involved and effects on the fetus from using tozaar H during pregnancy, so I would strongly advise against the use of this medication. Please consult your doctor for a suitable substitute.

Hope this helps.

Best wishes.
