Summary
This study tests whether giving blood pressure medication to women after childbirth can prevent hospital readmissions and reduce severe high blood pressure. About 300 women with preeclampsia will either receive standard care or start blood pressure drugs like labetalol or nifedipine. The goal is to see if treatment lowers the need for extra medical visits and improves recovery.
