How it works

From the US prescribing label for the same active substance (Labetalol Hydrochloride). It describes the substance, not this exact product.

Labetalol hydrochloride combines both selective, competitive, alpha 1 -adrenergic blocking and nonselective, competitive, beta-adrenergic blocking activity in a single substance.

In man, the ratios of alpha- to beta-blockade have been estimated to be approximately 1:3 and 1:7 following oral and intravenous (IV) administration, respectively.

The shape is a standard model drawn from the two times above, not a measurement. How fast a medicine acts and wears off also depends on the dose, the form and the person.
How it leaves the body

These metabolites are present in plasma and are excreted in the urine and, via the bile, into the feces.

With food

The absolute bioavailability of labetalol is increased when administered with food.
