Vast literature exists on the management of hypertension during pregnancy in all its variations, but there is little information on the management of the hypertensive post partum breast-feeding patient. Hypertensive disorders are common in pregnant women and breast-feeding women, there is a need to know what medications are safe for the infant, especially during the first months of life. In this review we focus on the most commonly used antihypertensive drugs, the passage thereof into breast milk, and the safety profile they present in terms of affection to the infant. Many women giving breastfeeding require treatment for hypertension; most of the existing evidence is case reports or studies with small numbers of patients in whom the dose, time of measurement and measurement techniques vary significantly. However, with the available information is possible to obtain a profile of the most appropriate drugs for use in nursing women, this review focuses on this so that clinicians can choose which option provides more security and efficacy.
