Algorithm for ‘tight’ blood‐pressure (BP) control in CHIPS trial. *If systolic BP is ≥ 160 mmHg, increase dose of existing medication or start new antihypertensive medication to get systolic BP < 160 mmHg, regardless of diastolic BP (dBP). Figure adapted from Magee et al..
Figure 2
Figure 2
Suggested dose titration of first‐line antihypertensive therapy in pregnancy. *Starting doses are higher than those generally recommended for non‐pregnant adults, given more rapid clearance in pregnancy. †When medication is at high (or maximum) dosage, consider using different medication to treat any severe hypertension that may develop. BID, twice/day; BP, blood pressure; LA, long‐acting; MR, modified release; OD, once/day; PA, prolonged action; QAM, every morning; QID, four times/day; QPM, every evening; TID, three times/day; XL, extended release.
