anyone have experience with beta blockers (Propranolol) during pregnancy??
by lauren_78, Apr 13, 2009 07:48PM
Hi, i'm 17 weeks pregnant and wondering if it's safe to use beta blockers (Propranolol to be specific) to control my hypertension and anxiety. I stopped during my first trimester which worked out ok but it's to the point now where my anxiety levels are getting way too high for my comfort. Before i was pregnant, I took 20-40mg 3x week which worked out fine. I'd love to hear from others with experience. TIA

I have taken a beta blocker throughout my whole pregnancy currently on 400 mgs of acebutolol a day (was 800 mg I lowered it myself due to constant falling in blood pressure) I am on it for arrythmias and mitral valve prolapse. My high risk ob said beta blockers are fine in pregnancy.

I have chronic hypertension, and I was under the assumption that there are only a few drugs that can be used during pregnancy to control it. I am on 250mg of Aldomet twice a day. I am not sure about the anxiety part of it though, hth :)
