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

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?

This site has a lot of information on it

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

i want to pick enalapril, it is absolutely contraindicated

if enalapril is not in the choices, labetalol will be my best choice

methyldopa, hydralazine, nifedipine is the routine drugs for mom
