Regarding bp medication
Im an asthmatic person. Right now my asthma is well controlled. Im currently 36 weeks pregnant. Last check I got diagnosed with gestational hypertension. My gynae prescribed labetatol 100 mg twice a day. Is this tablet will suit me or it will trigger my asthma. Im taking it for past 2 days as of now I'm ok only. Any suggestion for asthma friendly bp medication or should I continue this? .

Since your asthma is well controlled and you have tolerated labetalol for 2 days without worsening symptoms, it can be continued under your obstetrician's supervision
Next Steps
Continue the medication as prescribed and inform your obstetrician if you notice wheezing, increased breathlessness, or more frequent inhaler use.
Health Tips
Do not stop or change your blood pressure medication on your own, as uncontrolled hypertension in late pregnancy can be dangerous for both mother and baby.
