Summary

This study tested two common blood pressure medications in 70 women who had high blood pressure after giving birth. One group took a combined pill (hydrochlorothiazide/lisinopril) and the other took nifedipine. The goal was to see which pill controlled blood pressure better in the first 7-10 days after delivery. Both medications are already used in standard care.
