Labet 200mg is a prescription-only combined alpha- and beta-adrenergic receptor blocking medication (antihypertensive). Each tablet contains 200mg of Labetalol Hydrochloride.
Prescribed by physicians and obstetricians, it is indicated for the management of hypertension (high blood pressure), including hypertension during pregnancy (gestational hypertension and pre-eclampsia), angina pectoris, and hypertension following acute cardiovascular events.
Labetalol Hydrochloride exhibits a dual mechanism of action on the sympathetic nervous system:
Selective $\alpha_1$-Blockade: Blocks vascular alpha-1 receptors, causing peripheral vasodilation and relaxing arterial blood vessels to decrease systemic vascular resistance.
Non-Selective $\beta_1$ / $\beta_2$-Blockade: Blocks beta receptors in the heart, preventing reflex tachycardia (rapid heartbeat) and reducing cardiac workload without significantly reducing resting cardiac output.
Effective BP Control: The combined action lowers arterial blood pressure smoothly and effectively while maintaining renal and cerebral blood flow.
🚨 Critical Medical Warning: Do NOT stop taking Labet 200mg suddenly.
Abruptly discontinuing beta-blockers can trigger severe rebound hypertension, angina exacerbation, or cardiac arrhythmias.
Discontinuation must always be carried out gradually under direct physician supervision.
🚨 Respiratory Caution: Labetalol can cause airway constriction (bronchospasm).
Do NOT take Labet 200mg if you have a history of asthma, reactive airway disease, or severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
🚨 Hepatic Toxicity Notice: Rare cases of severe liver injury have been reported with labetalol therapy.
Contact your doctor immediately if you experience dark urine, severe fatigue, loss of appetite, yellowing of skin or eyes (jaundice), or upper abdominal pain.
🚨 Hypoglycemia Notice: Labetalol may mask warning signs of low blood sugar (hypoglycemia), such as a fast heartbeat or tremors (though sweating is usually not masked).
Swallow Whole: Swallow tablets with a glass of water.
Take With Food: Best taken with or immediately after meals. Taking labetalol with food increases its bioavailablity and absorption while helping prevent sudden postural blood pressure drops.
Dosing Schedule: Take twice or thrice daily exactly as prescribed by your doctor.
If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember unless it is almost time for your next scheduled dose. Do NOT take a double dose to make up for a missed tablet.
Dizziness, lightheadedness, or postural hypotension (feeling faint when standing up quickly).
Tingling sensation on the scalp (scalp tingling, usually temporary).
Fatigue, lethargy, or weakness.
Nausea, heartburn, or stomach upset.
Nasal congestion.
Shortness of breath, wheezing, or difficulty breathing.
Abnormally slow heartbeat (bradycardia) or cold hands/feet.
Yellowing of skin or eyes, dark urine, or right upper abdominal pain.
Is Labet 200mg safe during pregnancy?
Yes. Labetalol Hydrochloride is one of the most widely used and trusted first-line medications for managing high blood pressure during pregnancy and pre-eclampsia. However, it must strictly be monitored and adjusted by your obstetrician.
What is the difference between Labet 100mg and Labet 200mg?
Labet 200mg contains double the active ingredient of the 100mg tablet strength. Your doctor will determine the appropriate dosage strength based on your blood pressure levels and treatment response.
How should I store this medication?
Keep tablets inside their original blister packaging or bottle. Store in a cool, dry place strictly below 25°C or 30°C, protected from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep strictly out of reach of children.
