How does methyldopa compare to angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs) in managing hypertension, particularly in terms of efficacy, safety and tolerability?
Methyldopa is less effective than ARBs in controlling hypertension but is safer in pregnancy. Tolerability of methyldopa is lower due to more central nervous system side effects.
