Which medication class has a boxed warning for injury and death to developing fetus?

  1. Thiazide diuretics

  2. DHP CCBs

  3. non-DHP CCBs

  4. ACE inhibitors

The correct answer is: ACE inhibitors

ACE inhibitors are a class of medication used to treat high blood pressure, heart failure, and other conditions. They work by relaxing blood vessels, which helps to lower blood pressure. While other options may also be used to treat high blood pressure, ACE inhibitors specifically have a boxed warning for potential injury or death to a developing fetus if taken during pregnancy. This is because they can interfere with proper fetal development and lead to birth defects or complications. The other options, such as thiazide diuretics, DHP CCBs, and non-DHP CCBs, do not have this specific warning and are generally considered safer for use during pregnancy. However, it is always important to consult with a doctor before taking any medication while pregnant.
