Feedback:
Some medications can cause complications with cesarean births. Insulin may lead to hypoglycemia during labor or hyperglycemia if a dextrose solution is provided. Anticoagulants may cause hemorrhage due to lack of hemostasis during surgery. Antihypertensives may result in hypotension after anesthesia. Antianxiety agents may cause hypotension after anesthesia. There is no evidence to suggest that beta2-adrenergic blockers will cause a complication after a cesarean birth.
