Micardis and PregnancyBecause Micardis is generally not recommended for pregnant women, many patients want to know more about the potential risks of Micardis and pregnancy. When Micardis is taken during pregnancy, the fetus is at risk of developing temporary or permanent problems. Some of the problems seen with fetuses or newborns exposed to Micardis during pregnancy include deformities of the head and face, developmental problems with the lungs, kidney failure, or loss of life. Despite these warnings, Micardis may still be given to a pregnant woman if her healthcare provider believes that its benefits outweigh the possible risks to the unborn child.
