| '''Pregnancy Category C'''. Animal reproduction studies have not been conducted with Methyldopate HCl. It is also not known whether Methyldopate HCl can affect reproduction capacity or can cause fetal harm when given to a pregnant woman. Methyldopate HCl should be given to a pregnant woman only if clearly needed.

| ===Nursing Mothers===
| |
| | |
| Methyldopa appears in breast milk. Therefore, caution should be exercised when methyldopa is given to a nursing woman.
| |
| | |
| ===Pediatric Use===
