Pregnancy of Lotense 5 mg Capsule in details

Lotense 5 mg Capsule crosses the placenta. Cord blood concentrations were ~40% of maternal serum at delivery, and concentrations in the newborn were below the limit of quantification (<0.1 ng/mL) when measured in eight infants within 48 hours of delivery (Morgan 2017; Morgan 2018).

Due to pregnancy-induced pharmacologic changes, Lotense 5 mg Capsule pharmacokinetics may be altered immediately postpartum (Morgan 2018; Naito 2015b).

Chronic maternal hypertension may increase the risk of birth defects, low birth weight, preterm delivery, stillbirth, and neonatal death. Actual fetal/neonatal risks may be related to duration and severity of maternal hypertension. Untreated hypertension may also increase the risks of adverse maternal outcomes, including gestational diabetes, myocardial infarction, preeclampsia, stroke, and delivery complications (ACOG 203 2019).

Calcium channel blockers may be used to treat hypertension in pregnant women; however, agents other than Lotense 5 mg Capsule are more commonly used (ACOG 203 2019; ESC [Regitz-Zagrosek 2018]). Females with preexisting hypertension may continue their medication during pregnancy unless contraindications exist (ESC [Regitz-Zagrosek 2018]).
