While all drug classes have potential risks during pregnancy, beta blockers have been studied extensively and are generally considered safe to use in later parts of pregnancy for the treatment of heart failure. Diuretics and nitrates may also be used with caution, but ARBs are contraindicated in pregnancy. It is important to note that treatment during pregnancy should only be done under the guidance of a specialist.
