After taking medicine, can it interfere with children?

Patient's question:

My last menstrual period was on October 22, and I just found out I'm pregnant. My husband is taking the two high blood pressure medications shown in the attached image. He finished taking the kidney disease medication in mid-October. Could this affect the baby?

Doctor's answer:

You are now pregnant, but your husband has been taking antihypertensive medication. You don't need to worry that he has high blood pressure—he needs to take the medication. However, if you became pregnant after starting the medication, there is absolutely no impact on the fetus, and it will not cause any harm.
It is recommended that you take preventive measures after becoming pregnant, such as avoiding colds and viral infections, preventing exposure to radioactive substances, and starting to take folic acid supplements early. Maintain a regular lifestyle and keep a positive mood, which will help you give birth to a healthy baby.
