Consider using an alternative antihypertensive (e.g. methyldopa, propranolol, labetalol, hydralazine) – choice will depend on clinical situation.Phentolamine is only used for hypertensive episodes in phaechromocytoma prior to surgery. [8][11]A study of mothers taking beta-blockers during nursing found a numerically, but not statistically significant increased number of adverse reactions in those taking any beta-blocker. methyldopa, propranolol, labetalol, hydralazine) – choice will depend on clinical situation.Clinical properties of beta blockers vary widely with indications varying between hypertension, angina, myocardial infarction, heart failure, arrhythmias, thyrotoxicosis and anxiety. Therefore, nifedipine or verapamil may not always be a suitable clinical alternative.Nifedipine and verapamil are considered compatible with breastfeeding, including modified-release formulations, which is supported by limited published evidence and clinical experience.
METHODS: This … The risks of currently available beta blockers vary widely due to these features . It is, therefore, advised to monitor infants, especially premature and newborn, for hypotension if exposed to an ACE inhibitor while breastfeeding.Captopril and enalapril are considered to be compatible with breastfeeding, although monitoring advice still applies.There is no published evidence of the safe use of any drug in this group during breastfeeding.

Am J Cardiol. [8]Although an early report[5] indicated that infants may receive a pharmacologic dose of propranolol via breast milk, this is unlikely because the report had a 1000-fold error in reporting milk levels. Beta-blockers work by slowing the heart rate and opening up blood vessels to improve blood flow.

Other drugs in this class should be used with caution, especially in premature and newborn infants, with infant monitoring for hypotension. Therefore, it is advised to monitor breastfed infants for hypotensionMethyldopa is considered compatible with breastfeeding. 1973;32:247. Drugs from different pharmacological sections may be used in combination with, or as a replacement for, each other for both hypertension and other cardiovascular indications.
Beta-blockers reduce portal pressure and minimise haemorrhage risk. Drugs from different pharmacological sections may be used in combination with, or as a replacement for, each other for both hypertension and other cardiovascular indications. Choice of drug in a breastfeeding mother may, therefore, be dependant on a number of issues, including patient-specific clinical conditions and local/national guidelines, which will impact on the choice of drug for a breastfeeding mother and the alternatives that may be considered or are appropriate.The evidence for the safe use of ACE inhibitors in breastfeeding is very limited.

Anti-hypertensive therapy with propranolol during pregnancy and lactation. Topical beta-blockers reduce the intraocular pressure (IOP) by blockade of sympathetic nerve endings in the ciliary epithelium causing a fall in aqueous humour production.
