Oral Combined Hydrochlorothiazide/Lisinopril Versus Oral Nifedipine for Postpartum Hypertension

Summary

The purpose of this study is to see if a combined pill of Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors (a medication that helps relax your veins and arteries to lower your blood pressure) with diuretics (sometimes called water pills, help rid your body of salt and water) will control blood pressure better than a different blood pressure medication of calcium channel blocker (lower your blood pressure by preventing calcium from entering the cells of your heart and arteries). Both medications are part of our usual care for high blood pressure after delivery.
