Nifedipine or prazosin as a second agent to control early severe hypertension in pregnancy: a randomised controlled trial

Abstract

Nifedipine and prazosin as second agents allowed comparable amounts of time to be gained, although this changed when used as crossover third-line agents. The efficacy and safety of nifedipine in this study are consistent with the results of other studies. A greater number of intrauterine deaths occurred in the prazosin group.
