I am 5 months pregnant with high blood pressure around 140/100 mmHg. My doctor suggested taking Alphadopa, but it is not available. I tried Alphadopa L, but it gives me severe headaches. What safe medicine can I take to control my blood pressure during pregnancy?

Alphadopa (Methyldopa) is usually safe in pregnancy, but if it is unavailable or Alphadopa L (Labetalol) causes severe headaches, other medications like Nifedipine may be used safely under close medical supervision. Your doctor will choose the best medicine and dose based on your blood pressure, any side effects, and your overall health. Do not start any new medicine on your own.
