Is Losartan safe during pregnancy, and what precautions or alternative treatments should be considered for pregnant women with hypertension or other cardiovascular conditions?
Losartan is not recommended during pregnancy as it can harm the fetus. Alternatives like methyldopa or labetalol are safer for managing hypertension in pregnant women.
Losartan is contraindicated during pregnancy due to potential fetal toxicity. Doctors often prescribe safer alternatives such as nifedipine or methyldopa for hypertensive pregnant women.
