Brief Summary  

Pregnancy-induced hypertension, also called gestational hypertension, is high blood pressure that develops after 20 weeks of pregnancy and resolves after childbirth. Labetalol works by blocking both alpha-1 and beta-adrenergic receptors, which leads to reduced vascular resistance and heart rate, thereby lowering blood pressure. Nifedipine works by relaxing blood vessels, which reduces vascular resistance and lowers blood pressure. In this study we try to understand the efficacy of both the drugs.
