摘要：

Short-acting oral nifedipine has been withdrawn from the Australian market because of reports of ifs adverse effects after long-term treatment in non-pregnant patients with heart disease. This will have a major impact on the treatment of acutely hypertensive pregnant women, in whom the drug has proven to be safe, effective and easy to administer Should pregnant women be forced to use less suitable agents, thus threatening their own and their babies' health?.
