We are interested in studying drugs commonly prescribed to women who are breastfeeding so we can learn more about the am...

Summary: The purpose of this investigator-initiated randomized control trial is to determine whether oral Nifedipine versus oral Labetalol is superior in controlling high blood pressures in the postpartum period.

Summary: The goal of this observational study is to evaluate the effectiveness of topical nifedipine 0.3% plus lidocaine 1.5% for uncomplicated hemorrhoidal disease. The main question it aims to answer is: Does topical nifedipine 0.3% plus lidocaine 1.5% lower symptoms in patients with uncomplicated acute hemorrhoidal disease? Participants already taking nifedipine 0.3% plus lidocaine 1.5% as part of their...

Summary: The purpose of this study is to assess whether short-term (48 hr) tocolysis reduces perinatal morti-morbidity in cases of PPROM at 22 to 33 completed weeks' gestation.

Summary: This is an open label, randomized controlled trial designed to compare nifedipine and enalapril in the management of postpartum hypertension. This is an equivalence study- meaning it is not expected one medication is better than the other. Nifedipine has been shown to be better than another common blood pressure medicine, labetalol, for postpartum hypertension but enalapril which is also used worl...

Summary: The CHAP2 study is designed to provide preliminary data for a larger multicenter study to assess whether treatment of stage 1 hypertension (HTN) in pregnancy improves maternal and or neonatal outcomes. The primary objective of this pilot study is to determine if anti-HTN treatment to BP\<130/80mmHg in pregnant patients with stage 1 HTN is associated with a difference in birthweight percentile at d...

Summary: The purpose of the research is to characterize the effect of labetalol, atenolol, and nifedipine on maternal hemodynamics early in pregnancy. Patients will be given medication based on their hemodynamics and asked to return for a repeat measurement.

Summary: The long-term goal of our work is to evaluate the effect of intensive postpartum blood pressure control on maternal cardiovascular health, risk of chronic hypertension, and reversal of vascular dysfunction generated by hypertensive disorders of pregnancy, thus attenuating the lifelong trajectory of cardiovascular disease risk.

Summary: The purpose of this study is to assess which blood pressure medication (intravenous labetalol or oral nifedipine) works better in treating severely elevated blood pressure in women who have just delivered a baby.

Summary: The study investigators are interested in learning more about how drugs, that are given to children by their health care provider, act in the bodies of children and young adults in hopes to find the most safe and effective dose for children. The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the PK of understudied drugs currently being administered to children per SOC as prescribed by their treati...

Summary: This study will evaluate the effect of ibuprofen or nifedipine on post-seizure hypoperfusion and neurological deficits in patients with epilepsy. One group will receive ibuprofen, another will receive nifedipine, and anther placebo.

Summary: Randomized trial comparing risk of hospital readmission and hypertensive complications between patients managed on Labetalol compared to Nifedipine.
