title: Adverse reactions to antihypertensive drugs in pregnancy.
abstract: In conclusion from a clinical pharmacological point of view it is stressed that side effects from antihypertensive therapy in part is related to dosage. Increased knowledge should make it possible to reduce the rate of side effects. In the individual case the physician always has to compare a number of factors: general condition of the patient, age, adherence to the prescribed therapy, side effects, and other factors in addition to blood pressure values. With all these limitations in mind there is agreement that the benefit of antihypertensive therapy far out-weigh the negative aspects of such treatment.
