Atacand HCT and PregnancyThere are some situations where people should avoid taking Atacand HCT, and pregnancy is one of them. This is because during any trimester of pregnancy, Atacand HCT can lead to temporary or permanent problems, including death, in the fetus. Some of the complications seen with fetuses or newborns exposed to Atacand HCT during pregnancy include developmental problems with the cardiovascular or nervous systems, deformities of the head or face, and kidney failure. However, Atacand HCT may still be given to a pregnant woman if her healthcare provider believes that its benefits outweigh the potential risks to the unborn child.
