High blood pressure in pregnancy
I am 22 week 4 days pregnant, my blood pressure started increasing after 20 +3 week. I was under observation for 3 days in hospital and was medicated with labetalol tablet starting from 100 mg. My BP had gone upto 150/100. Now I'm taking 200 mg thrice a day. From yesterday, my blood pressure again fluctuating, 120-50/75-90 at different times in a day. Is the tablet has no impact on me, my Dr said to monitor for couple of days and if it has no difference then may need to increase dosage. What is the max dosage given during pregnancy.will my BP comes to normal with this medicine.

1200 to 2400 mg is the maximum dose. You can titrate it untill blood pressure is under control. Control of it highly recommend to avoid complication in pregnancy
