Anithypertensive contra indicated in pregnancy

[Viran23b]

Which of the following anti-hypertensive drugs is conta-indicated in the second trimester of pregnancy?

Labetalol
Methyl dopa
Enalpril
Hydralazine
Nifedipine

[Sabio]

I'd pick enalpril

Angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors are FDA class D and the risks are way more than the benefits
they can cause renal failure in the fetus

Am I right?

If you all go here you can get some info on which drugs to avoid although I think enalpril is not on it, but what they hec check it out

The ACE inhibitors are mentioned as absolutely contra indicated in the link you posted
enalpril is ACE inhibitor as far as I know
