All participants have received aldomet (1g/day) and hydralazin (100 mg/day) for a week but their blood pressures were not reduced. In this study, they were treated by amlopidin. The monitoring these pregnant women and their fetuses have shown that amlopidin reduced both diastolic and systolic blood to an allowed level. Drug did not cause renal and liver functional disorder, and not change the glycemia and cholesterolemia but reduce the uremia. The drug did not cause any complications for fetus.
