ABSTRACT
Twenty four patients suffering form pregnancy induced hypertension [PIH] attending Al-Azhar Hospital were into three groups each is composed of 8 patients. They received therapeutic doses of labetalol [Trandate], pindolol and clopamide [Viskaldex] and methyl dopa [Aldomet]. The effect of these drugs on maternal blood pressure and fetal condition was studied by cardiography. Viskaldex, has been found to decrease long term variability of fetal heart rate. The other two drugs caused no significant change. Aldomet was found to be less effective in controlling and managing the progress of PIH in severe cases, and the outcome on fetus was less favourable
