Benazepril should not be a bad choice at all.  Lisinopril, though, is
not a "pump and dump" drug necessarily.  Though it has low protein
binding, it also has very low oral availability.  I think it would be
alright.  But quite right that with so many drugs available for
hypertension, why choose one about which we are not sure?

You want acceptable drugs?

What was wrong with methyldopa?  If it was controlling the
hypertension, it is just fine, and increases the milk supply as well.

Beta blocker?  Propranalol.

ACE inhibitor? Benazepril.

Calcium channel blocker? Nifedipine.

Diuretic? Hydrochlorthiazide.

The doctors reaction was completely inappropriate and I would complain
to the licensing board about him.  His reaction was unprofessional in
the extreme.
