pregnant and you or your baby have certain conditions where prolongation of pregnancy can be dangerous (such as very high&nbsp;blood pressure,&nbsp;infection&nbsp;in the womb, bleeding, the placenta covers the birth canal or the placenta is coming off, or your baby has died inside the womb )<\/li><li>if you have a heart condition with palpitations (for example, heart valve disorder) or long-term lung disease (for example,&nbsp;chronic&nbsp;bronchitis,&nbsp;emphysema&nbsp;) that causes increased&nbsp;blood pressure&nbsp;in the lungs (pulmonary hypertension).<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2

Bricanyl after careful consideration of the balance between the benefits of Bricanyl for your child and the possible adverse effects the treatment may have on you.&nbsp;Your and your child&#8217;s health will be continuously monitored throughout the treatment.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The following measurements will be made:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Blood pressure&nbsp;and heart rate.&nbsp;Your doctor will consider lowering&nbsp;your&nbsp;dose&nbsp;or stopping Bricanyl treatment if your heart rate exceeds 120 beats per minute.<\/li><li>Electrocardiogram&nbsp;(&nbsp;ECG, the electrical activity of the heart).&nbsp;<strong>Tell your doctor immediately if you experience chest pain during treatment.&nbsp;<\/strong>If there are changes in&nbsp;your&nbsp;ECG&nbsp;record and
