All ß-blockers are approved by the AAP for use in breastfeeding, but metoprolol or labetolol are preferred. If ß-blockers contraindicated, probably the next choice would be hydralazine. Avoid ACE-I's during the first month. Neonates are very sensitive. After the first month, captopril preferred if ACE-I used. -- Anna Meenan, MD At Thu, 19 May 2005, Henry Gregor wrote: > >Hello All, > >Have been unable to get a handle on what might be preferred management for a chronic hypertensive patient who wishes to breast feed.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
