How it works

Labetalol belongs to a family of medicines known as beta-blockers. Labetalol works by causing the heart to beat slower and with less force. It also widens the arteries in the body. This helps to lower the pressure of the blood as it travels around the body .

Labetalol Hcl Precautions

Precaution

In patients with latent cardiac insufficiency, continued depression of the myocardium with beta-blocking agents over a period of time can, in some cases, lead to cardiac failure. At the first sign or symptom of impending cardiac failure, patients should be fully digitalized and/or be given a diuretic, and the response should be observed closely. If cardiac failure continues despite adequate digitalization and diuretic, therapy should be withdrawn (gradually, if possible).

Labetalol Hcl Warnings

Warning 1

Particular care should be taken when labetalol is used in patients with hepatic impairment as these patients metabolise labetalol more slowly than patients without hepatic impairment. Lower doses may be required.

Warning 2

Particular care is required with patients whose cardiac reserve is poor. Beta-adrenoceptor blocking drugs should be avoided in overt heart failure or poor left ventricular systolic function, although they may be used when cardiac failure has been controlled.

Warning 3

Great care should be taken with patients with peripheral circulatory disorders such as Raynaud's disease or syndrome or intermittent claudication. Beta adrenoceptor blockers may lead to the aggravation of such disorders.
