Bisoprolol during pregnancy

 Bisoprolol is a medication belonging to the class of beta-blockers. It's primarily used to treat conditions such as high blood pressure (hypertension), heart failure, and certain types of heart rhythm disorders (arrhythmias).

The use of bisoprolol during pregnancy is generally not recommended, especially during the first trimester. This is because beta-blockers, including bisoprolol, can potentially affect fetal growth and development. There is limited data on the safety of bisoprolol in pregnant women, and studies in animals have shown adverse effects on fetal development.

The Australian categorization system does not use alphabetical categories like the FDA. Instead, medications are classified according to risk factors. For bisoprolol, it's generally recommended to avoid use during pregnancy unless the potential benefits outweigh the risks, and it's prescribed under strict medical supervision
