VASOTEC AND CRESTOR WHILE PREGNANT

VASOTEC AND CRESTOR WHILE PREGNANT

I have been taking vasotec and crestor since march 2006, I just discovered I am pregnant sept 2006. I immediately stopped taking the medications, however I am concerned with the time I took them until now, the complications or damage they could have caused until today.
please advise.

Here is a little info:  (hope it helps some)(don't know the answers you need, you will have to consult your doctor for feedback)

Just remember a lot of women do take many medicines and do many other bad things in early pregnancy b/c they do not realize they are pregnant.  It happens to the best of us.  Please, do not freak out and cause yourself un-needed stress.  If the doctor feels that these medicines are of any concern and were consumed to very long then he will do many ultrasounds to determine any harm to the child.  As long as you stopped immediately after finding out you were pregnant, the chances should be very low for any harm to have been done.  

Vasotec
http://www.rxlist.com/cgi/generic/enalap_wcp.htm#FNMM

go to Fetal/Neonatal Morbidity and Mortality

***as you see according to this you did the right thing by discontinuing usage of the vasotec, but you will have to consult your doctor for all questions concerning harm to the baby.

As for the crestor: http://www.crestor.com/c/crestor/  

***(off official site) CRESTOR is not right for everyone, including women who are nursing, pregnant, or who may become pregnant, or anyone with liver problems.

I am sorry that I couldn't be more help to you.  You can call your pharmacy and get more info or call you doctor in the am.

I like safefetus.com although it seems to be more aggressive (scary) about warnings than the dr. For instance for asthma medications.  "C" category, while not ideal, are prescribed frequently (don't know about your meds).  I am on Advair, Albuterol and have had some serious dipping into Benadryl (cat/mold/pollen horrible allergies/asthma).
