There are consequences to taking any drug during pregnancy, even 'over the counter' drugs, and even ones like Tylenol, that your doctor might call 'safe' during pregnancy. The truth is that no one really knows whether taking any drug during pregnancy, particularly the first trimester is 'safe' for the baby or not. And taking any drug, you're just experimenting on your child. It's best to not take ANY drugs during pregnancy.
As far as Prilosec, this is an acid reducing drug. Some of the consequences of reducing acid in your stomach is to decrease the absorption of nutrients, such as B12 and calcium in your body- nutrients your body needs to help create a healthy baby.
Please read more on the side effects of Prilosec page below to see why taking these drugs is not recommended for anyone, as they have long-term consequences. It's better to solve the problem of why you have heartburn and high blood pressure and fix those issues, instead of experimenting with your unborn child's health.

NO!!!!!!! YOU CON NOT TAKE LISINOPRIL DURING PREGANCY BECAUSE IT IS AN ACE INHIBITOR IN OTHERS WORDS IT CAN DAMAGE YOUR BABY MAIN ORGANS AT THAT TIME YOU BECOME PREGANT YOUR DOCTOR SHOULD PUT YOU ON METHYLDOPA 250MG
As of 2 days ago, I was diagnosed with hypertension and prescribed Lisinopril. I was concerned because I want to conceive in the very near future. My doctor advised that I should discontinue the medication BEFORE I get pregnant. To be on the safe side, I would talk to my doctor about alternatives during pregnancy. Good luck!
