Preeclampsia is an obstetric disorder that affects 3-8% of pregnant women and remains a leading cause of short- and long-term neonatal and maternal morbidity and mortality. Professional societies recommend the use of low dose aspirin to prevent preeclampsia in high-risk women. However, interest in prevention of this disease and better understanding of its pathophysiology have led to growing research on other agents. This review focuses on the main therapeutic agents evaluated or in use for preeclampsia prevention. © 2020 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
