Methimazole for high blood pressure and Labetalol is for Thyroid.

Answer

Hello. How many weeks were you when you started the medication? I have to take this medication because my thyroid levels were extremely low. I am 15 weeks and I don’t want this medicine to harm my baby. Please respond back!

Answer

I was given labetalol temporarily for high blood pressure when it was extremely high at one point the doctors needed it to come down fast and then they switched me to methyldopa which I was told is only safe high blood pressure medications for pregnancy. I have hypothyroidism and I am on thyroxine for that I’m assuming the methimazole is for hyperthyroidism I have heard about possible birth defects (sorry not trying to scare you) but these are apparently very rare to happen.
