Dr. Ibrahim Moussa answered

Specializes in Internal Medicine - Cardiology

Few: Very few BP medications like Labetalol and methydopa are safe during pregnancy and if you decide to breastfeed later. Medication that should be avoided since they cause birth defects are ace inhibitors and angiotensin receptor blockers (arb).
