How it works
From this product’s own US prescribing label.
Labetalol hydrochloride combines both selective, competitive, alpha1-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.
These metabolites are present in plasma and are excreted in the urine and, via the bile, into the feces.
The absolute bioavailability of labetalol is increased when administered with food.

Do not take it if
- Labetalol hydrochloride is contraindicated in bronchial asthma, overt cardiac failure, greater-than-first-degree heart block, cardiogenic shock, severe bradycardia, other conditions associated with severe and prolonged hypotension, and in patients with a history of hypersensitivity to any component of the product ( see WARNINGS ).
- Beta-blockers, even those with apparent cardioselectivity, should not be used in patients with a history of obstructive airway disease, including asthma.
Quoted from the official label, section “Contraindications”.
How to take it
These directions are for this exact strength and form. Another one is different.
- DOSAGE MUST BE INDIVIDUALIZED.
- The recommended initial dosage is 100 mg twice daily whether used alone or added to a diuretic regimen.
- After 2 or 3 days, using standing blood pressure as an indicator, dosage may be titrated in increments of 100 mg b.i.d. every 2 or 3 days.
- The usual maintenance dosage of labetalol hydrochloride tablets is between 200 mg and 400 mg twice daily.
- Since the full antihypertensive effect of labetalol hydrochloride tablets is usually seen within the first 1 to 3 hours of the initial dose or dose increment, the assurance of a lack of an exaggerated hypotensive response can be clinically established in the office setting.
- The antihypertensive effects of continued dosing can be measured at subsequent visits, approximately 12 hours after a dose, to determine whether further titration is necessary.
- Patients with severe hypertension may require from 1200 mg to 2400 mg per day, with or without thiazide diuretics.
- Should side effects (principally nausea or dizziness) occur with these doses administered b.i.d.(twice daily), the same total daily dose administered t.i.d.
- (three times daily) may improve tolerability and facilitate further titration.
- Titration increments should not exceed 200 mg b.i.d.
- (twice daily).
- When a diuretic is added, an additive antihypertensive effect can be expected.
- In some cases this may necessitate a labetalol hydrochloride tablet dosage adjustment.
- As with most antihypertensive drugs, optimal dosages of labetalol hydrochloride tablets are usually lower in patients also receiving a diuretic.
- When transferring patients from other antihypertensive drugs, labetalol hydrochloride tablets should be introduced as recommended and the dosage of the existing therapy progressively decreased.
- Elderly Patients As in the general patient population, labetalol therapy may be initiated at 100 mg twice daily and titrated upwards in increments of 100 mg b.i.d. as required for control of blood pressure.
- Since some elderly patients eliminate labetalol more slowly, however, adequate control of blood pressure may be achieved at a lower maintenance dosage compared to the general population.
- The majority of elderly patients will require between 100 mg and 200 mg b.i.d.
Quoted from the official label, section “Dosage & Administration”.
Other warnings
- Hepatic Injury Severe hepatocellular injury, confirmed by rechallenge in at least one case, occurs rarely with labetalol therapy.
- The hepatic injury is usually reversible, but hepatic necrosis and death have been reported.
- Injury has occurred after both short- and long-term treatment and may be slowly progressive despite minimal symptomatology.
- Similar hepatic events have been reported with a related research compound, dilevalol HCl, including two deaths.
- Dilevalol HCl is one of the four isomers of labetalol hydrochloride.
- Thus, for patients taking labetalol, periodic determination of suitable hepatic laboratory tests would be appropriate.
- Appropriate laboratory testing should be done at the first symptom or sign of liver dysfunction (e.g., pruritus, dark urine, persistent anorexia, jaundice, right upper quadrant tenderness, or unexplained "flu-like" symptoms).
- If the patient has laboratory evidence of liver injury or jaundice, labetalol should be stopped and not restarted.
- Cardiac Failure Sympathetic stimulation is a vital component supporting circulatory function in congestive heart failure.
- Beta-blockade carries a potential hazard of further depressing myocardial contractility and precipitating more severe failure.
- Although beta-blockers should be avoided in overt congestive heart failure, if necessary, labetalol hydrochloride can be used with caution in patients with a history of heart failure who are well compensated.
- Congestive heart failure has been observed in patients r eceiving labetalol hydrochloride.
- Labetalol hydrochloride does not abolish the inotropic action of digitalis on heart muscle.
- In Patients Without a History of Cardiac Failure 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 with labetalol hydrochloride should be withdrawn (gradually, if possible).
- Exacerbation of Ischemic Heart Disease Following Abrupt Withdrawal Angina pectoris has not been reported upon labetalol hydrochloride discontinuation.
- However, hypersensitivity to catecholamines has been observed in patients withdrawn from beta-blocker therapy; exacerbation of angina and, in some cases, myocardial infarction have occurred after abrupt discontinuation of such therapy.
- When discontinuing chronically administered labetalol hydrochloride, particularly in patients with ischemic heart disease, the dosage should be gradually reduced over a period of 1 to 2 weeks and the patient should be carefully monitored.
- If angina markedly worsens or acute coronary insufficiency develops, therapy with labetalol hydrochloride should be reinstituted promptly, at least temporarily, and other measures appropriate for the management of unstable angina should be taken.
- Patients should be warned against interruption or discontinuation of therapy without the physician's advice.
- Because coronary artery disease is common and may be unrecognized, it may be prudent not to discontinue therapy with labetalol hydrochloride abruptly in patients being treated for hypertension.
- Nonallergic Bronchospasm (e.g., Chronic Bronchitis and Emphysema) Patients with bronchospastic disease should, in general, not receive beta-blockers .
- Labetalol hydrochloride may be used with caution, however, in patients who do not respond to, or cannot tolerate, other antihypertensive agents.
- It is prudent, if labetalol hydrochloride is used, to use
- the smallest effective dose, so that inhibition of endogenous or exogenous beta-agonists is minimized.
- Pheochromocytoma Labetalol hydrochloride has been shown to be effective in lowering blood pressure and relieving symptoms in patients with pheochromocytoma.
- However, paradoxical hypertensive responses have been reported in a few patients with this tumor; therefore, use caution when administering labetalol hydrochloride to patients with pheochromocytoma.
- Hypoglycemia Beta-blockers may prevent early warning signs of hypoglycemia, such as tachycardia, and increase the risk for severe or prolonged hypoglycemia at any time during treatment, especially in patients with diabetes mellitus or children and patients who are fasting (i.e., surgery, not eating regularly, or are vomiting).
- If severe hypoglycemia occurs, patients should be instructed to seek emergency treatment.
- Major Surgery Do not routinely withdraw chronic beta-blocker therapy prior to surgery.
- The effect of labetalol hydrochloride's alpha-adrenergic activity has not been evaluated in this setting.
- A synergism between labetalol hydrochloride and halothane anesthesia has been shown ( see PRECAUTIONS , DRUG INTERACTIONS ).
- General Impaired Hepatic Function Labetalol hydrochloride should be used with caution in patients with impaired hepatic function since metabolism of the drug may be diminished.
- Intraoperative Floppy Iris Syndrome (IFIS) Intraoperative Floppy Iris Syndrome (IFIS) has been observed during cataract surgery in some patients treated with alpha-1 blockers (labetalol is an alpha/beta blocker).
- This variant of small pupil syndrome is characterized by the combination of a flaccid iris that billows in response to intraoperative irrigation currents, progressive intraoperative miosis despite preoperative dilation with standard mydriatic drugs, and potential prolapse of the iris toward the phacoemulsification incisions.
- The patient's ophthalmologist should be prepared for possible modifications to the surgical technique, such as the utilization of iris hooks, iris dilator rings, or viscoelastic substances.
- There does not appear to be a benefit of stopping alpha-1 blocker therapy prior to cataract surgery.
- Jaundice or Hepatic Dysfunction ( see WARNINGS ).
- Information for Patients As with all drugs with beta-blocking activity, certain advice to patients being treated with labetalol hydrochloride is warranted.
- Laboratory Tests As with any new drug given over prolonged periods, laboratory parameters should be observed over regular intervals.
- In patients with concomitant illnesses, such as impaired renal function, appropriate tests should be done to monitor these conditions.
- Drug Interactions In one survey, 2.3% of patients taking labetalol hydrochloride in combination with tricyclic antidepressants experienced tremor, as compared to 0.7% reported to occur with labetalol hydrochloride alone.
- Drug/Laboratory Test Interactions The presence of labetalol metabolites in the urine may result in falsely elevated levels of urinary catecholamines, metanephrine, normetanephrine, and vanillylmandelic acid when measured by fluorimetric or photometric methods.
- In screening patients suspected of having a pheochromocytoma and being treated with labetalol hydrochloride, a specific method, such as a high performance liquid chromatographic assay with solid phase extraction (e.g., J.
- Chromatogr 385:241,1987) should be employed in determining levels of catecholamines.
- Labetalol hydrochloride has also been reported to produce a false-positive test for amphetamine when screening urine for the presence of drugs using the commercially available assay methods TOXI-LAB ® A (thin-layer chromatographic assay) and EMIT-d.a.u. ® (radioenzymatic assay).
- When patients being treated with labetalol have a positive urine test for amphetamine using these techniques, confirmation should be made by using more specific methods, such as a gas chromatographic-mass spectrometer technique.
- Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment of Fertility Long-term oral dosing studies with labetalol hydrochloride for 18 months in mice and for 2 years in rats showed no evidence of carcinogenesis.
- Studies with labetalol hydrochloride using dominant lethal assays in rats and mice and exposing microorganisms according to modified Ames tests showed no evidence of mutagenesis.
- Pregnancy Teratogenic Effects Pregnancy Category C Teratogenic studies were performed with labetalol in rats and rabbits at oral doses up to approximately six and four times the maximum recommended human dose (MRHD), respectively.
- Labor and Delivery Labetalol hydrochloride given to pregnant women with hypertension did not appear to affect the usual course of labor and delivery.
- Nursing Mothers Small amounts of labetalol (approximately 0.004% of the maternal dose) are excreted in human milk.
- Pediatric Use Safety and effectiveness in pediatric patients have not been established.
- Elderly Patients As in the general population, some elderly patients (60 years of age and older) have experienced orthostatic hypotension, dizziness, or lightheadedness during treatment with labetalol.
- Because elderly patients are generally more likely than younger patients to experience orthostatic symptoms, they should be cautioned about the possibility of such side effects during treatment with labetalol.
Quoted from the official label, section “Warnings”.
Pregnancy and breastfeeding
- Teratogenic Effects Pregnancy Category C Teratogenic studies were performed with labetalol in rats and rabbits at oral doses up to approximately six and four times the maximum recommended human dose (MRHD), respectively.
- No reproducible evidence of fetal malformations was observed.
- Increased fetal resorptions were seen in both species at doses approximating the MRHD.
- A teratology study performed with labetalol in rabbits at intravenous doses up to 1.7 times the MRHD revealed no evidence of drug-related harm to the fetus.
- There are no adequate and well-controlled studies in pregnant women.
- Labetalol should be used during pregnancy only if the potential benefit justifies the potential risk to the fetus.
- Nonteratogenic Effects Hypotension, bradycardia, hypoglycemia, and respiratory depression have been reported in infants of mothers who were treated with labetalol hydrochloride for hypertension during pregnancy.
- Oral administration of labetalol to rats during late gestation through weaning at doses of two to four times the MRHD caused a decrease in neonatal survival.
- Small amounts of labetalol (approximately 0.004% of the maternal dose) are excreted in human milk. Caution should be exercised when labetalol hydrochloride is administered to a nursing woman.
Quoted from the official label, section “OTC — Pregnancy or Breast Feeding”.
Other medicines
- In one survey, 2.3% of patients taking labetalol hydrochloride in combination with tricyclic antidepressants experienced tremor, as compared to 0.7% reported to occur with labetalol hydrochloride alone.
- The contribution of each of the treatments to this adverse reaction is unknown, but the possibility of a drug interaction cannot be excluded.
- Drugs possessing beta-blocking properties can blunt the bronchodilator effect of beta-receptor agonist drugs in patients with bronchospasm; therefore, doses greater than the normal anti-asthmatic dose of beta-agonist bronchodilator drugs may be required.
- Cimetidine has been shown to increase the bioavailability of labetalol hydrochloride.
- Since this could be explained either by enhanced absorption or by an alteration of hepatic metabolism of labetalol hydrochloride, special care should be used in establishing the dose required for blood pressure control in such patients.
- Synergism has been shown between halothane anesthesia and intravenously administered labetalol hydrochloride.
- During controlled hypotensive anesthesia using labetalol hydrochloride in association with halothane, high concentrations (3% or above) of halothane should not be used because the degree of hypotension will be increased and because of the possibility of a large reduction in cardiac output and an increase in central venous pressure.
- The anesthesiologist should be informed when a patient is receiving labetalol hydrochloride.
- Labetalol hydrochloride blunts the reflex tachycardia produced by nitroglycerin without preventing its hypotensive effect.
- If labetalol hydrochloride is used with nitroglycerin in patients with angina pectoris, additional antihypertensive effects may occur.
- Care should be taken if labetalol is used concomitantly with calcium antagonists of the verapamil type.
- Both digitalis glycosides and beta-blockers slow atrioventricular conduction and decrease heart rate.
- Concomitant use can increase the risk of bradycardia.
- Risk of Anaphylactic Reaction While taking beta-blockers, patients with a history of severe anaphylactic reaction to a variety of allergens may be more reactive to repeated challenge, either accidental, diagnostic, or therapeutic.
- Such patients may be unresponsive to the usual doses of epinephrine used to treat allergic reaction.
Quoted from the official label, section “Drug Interactions”.
If you take too much
In an emergency, call your local emergency number or a poison control centre.
- Overdosage with labetalol hydrochloride causes excessive hypotension that is posture sensitive and, sometimes, excessive bradycardia.
- Patients should be placed supine and their legs raised, if necessary, to improve the blood supply to the brain.
- If overdosage with labetalol hydrochloride follows oral ingestion, gastric lavage or pharmacologically induced emesis (using syrup of ipecac) may be useful for removal of the drug shortly after ingestion.
- The following additional measures should be employed if necessary:
- Excessive bradycardia Administer atropine or epinephrine.
- Cardiac failure Administer a digitalis glycoside and a diuretic.
- Dopamine or dobutamine may also be useful.
- Hypotension Administer vasopressors, e.g., norepinephrine.
- There is pharmacologic evidence that norepinephrine may be the drug of choice.
- Bronchospasm administer epinephrine and/or an aerosolized beta 2 -agonist.
- Seizures administer diazepam.
- In severe beta-blocker overdose resulting in hypotension and/or bradycardia, glucagon has been shown to be effective when administered in large doses (5 mg to 10 mg rapidly over 30 seconds, followed by continuous infusion of 5 mg per hour that can be reduced as the patient improves).
- Neither hemodialysis nor peritoneal dialysis removes a significant amount of labetalol hydrochloride from the general circulation (< 1%).
- The oral LD 50 value of labetalol hydrochloride in the mouse is approximately 600 mg/kg and in the rat is > 2 g/kg.
- The intravenous LD 50 in these species is 50 mg/kg to 60 mg/kg.

Use in children
Safety and effectiveness in pediatric patients have not been established.
Quoted from the official label, section “Pediatric Use”.
Side effects
- Most adverse effects are mild and transient and occur early in the course of treatment.
- In controlled clinical trials of 3 to 4 months' duration, discontinuation of labetalol hydrochloride due to one or more adverse effects was required in 7% of all patients.
- In these same trials, other agents with solely beta-blocking activity used in the control groups led to discontinuation in 8% to 10% of patients, and a centrally acting alpha-agonist led to discontinuation in 30% of patients.
- The incidence rates of adverse reactions listed in the following table were derived from multicenter, controlled clinical trials comparing labetalol hydrochloride, placebo, metoprolol, and propranolol over treatment periods of 3 and 4 months.
- Where the frequency of adverse effects for labetalol hydrochloride and placebo is similar, causal relationship is uncertain.
- The rates are based on adverse reactions considered probably drug related by the investigator.
- If all reports are considered, the rates are somewhat higher (e.g., dizziness, 20%; nausea, 14%; fatigue, 11%), but the overall conclusions are unchanged.

What to discuss with your doctor
- As with all drugs with beta-blocking activity, certain advice to patients being treated with labetalol hydrochloride is warranted.
- This information is intended to aid in the safe and effective use of this medication.
- It is not a disclosure of all possible adverse or intended effects.
- While no incident of the abrupt withdrawal phenomenon (exacerbation of angina pectoris) has been reported with labetalol hydrochloride, dosing with labetalol hydrochloride should not be interrupted or discontinued without a physician's advice.
- Patients being treated with labetalol hydrochloride should consult a physician at any signs or symptoms of impending cardiac failure or hepatic dysfunction ( see WARNINGS ).
- Also, transient scalp tingling may occur, usually when treatment with labetalol hydrochloride is initiated (see ADVERSE REACTIONS ).
- Inform patients or caregivers that there is a risk of hypoglycemia when labetalol hydrochloride tablets are given to patients who are fasting or who are vomiting.
- Monitor for symptoms of hypoglycemia (see WARNINGS ).
