Q: I’m 34 years old and have had high blood pressure since I was pregnant with my only child. Since then I’m on medication, currently renitec 10mg, but sometimes my blood pressure is not in control. Some people say that I can’t get pregnant because of the medication I’m taking. Can you help me?
A: Renitec is an ACE inhibitor. This class of medication is not recommended in pregnancy because of the potential for birth defects. There are medications to lower blood pressure that are considered safe with pregnancy. You should advise your obstetrician that you want to get pregnant and have your medication changed and blood pressure in control prior to attempting to conceive.
