British and Irish Hypertension Society response to 'RAAS inhibitors in pregnancy, breastfeeding and women of childbearing potential: a review of national and international clinical practice guidelines'

In their review of clinical practice guidelines on the use of renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) inhibitors, Greenlees and Delles call for more explicit advice on the use of these drugs among women of childbearing potential, during pregnancy and breastfeeding. In response, the British and Irish Hypertension Society (BIHS) highlight the key issues for clinicians to consider when prescribing RAAS inhibitors to hypertensive women and suggest areas where further research is needed.
