Postpartum hypertension and nonsteroidal analgesia

Angela Makris et al. Am J Obstet Gynecol. 2004 Feb.

Abstract

Nonsteroidal analgesics are frequently used in obstetrics. We present two cases where nonsteroidal analgesics contributed to significant elevations in blood pressure in postpartum women. We review the literature and consider the pathophysiologic causes for such a phenomenon.
