Acute antihypertensive therapy in pregnancy-induced hypertension: is nicardipine the answer?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not my first choice: Nicardipine is pregnancy category c. Typically we use IV labetolol, Hydralazine and PO nidepine as first line agents. There is some data using nicardipine i v . It is alternative to other agents. I would use if other agents contraindicated or did not work.
