Labetalol Oral

Labetalol is used to treat high blood pressure. It relaxes your blood vessels so your heart doesn't have to pump as hard. Labetalol Oral is sometimes prescribed for other uses; ask your doctor or pharmacist for more information.

Labetalol comes as a tablet to take by mouth. It usually is taken two or three times a day. Follow the directions on your prescription label carefully, and ask your doctor or pharmacist to explain any part you do not understand. Take labetalol exactly as directed. Do not take more or less of it or take it more often than prescribed by your doctor. Labetalol controls high blood pressure but does not cure it. Continue to take labetalol even if you feel well. Do not stop taking labetalol without talking to your doctor.
