Product Introduction

Lablol 20mg Injection is an antihypertensive drug belonging to the class of non-cardioselective beta blockers, containing the active ingredient Labetalol. It is used to treat hypertension (high blood pressure) and may be prescribed for certain heart conditions. This drug is particularly useful in managing hypertensive emergencies, such as severe hypertension during pregnancy. Contact your physician immediately if you experience allergies to this drug and its ingredients. Lablol 20mg Injection may worsen bronchospasm and respiratory function in patients with asthma or severe COPD. It should be used with caution in such cases. This drug is primarily used to lower blood pressure but can also affect heart rate. It may cause bradycardia (slow heart rate), especially in patients with preexisting heart rhythm disorders. Regular monitoring of blood pressure levels and heart rate is important during treatment. Inform your doctor or surgeon about this drug before surgery. This medicine may interact with anesthesia and other medications used during surgery, potentially affecting blood pressure control. Patients with impaired liver function may experience increased drug levels as the liver metabolises this medicine. Dose adjustments may be necessary in these conditions. Lablol 20mg Injection may affect blood sugar levels and can mask some signs of low blood sugar. Close monitoring of blood glucose levels is important for diabetic patients taking this medicine, and adjustments in diabetes medications may be required. Avoid breastfeeding while on this medicine, as this drug passes into breast milk. Inform your physician of all other medications you take before using over-the-counter or herbal products. Your doctor will evaluate the risk of interaction with this medication.

Uses

How it works

Lablol 20mg Injection works by blocking beta-1 adrenergic receptors and reduces the effects of the hormone adrenaline (epinephrine) on the heart. This results in decreased heart rate and force of contraction, leading to a reduction in cardiac output. By reducing the workload on the heart, this medicine helps lower blood pressure.

How to Use

Lablol 20mg Injection will be administered to you by a healthcare professional in a hospital setting. It is usually administered as an intravenous injection into a vein. Your doctor will decide the dose, route of administration, and frequency based on your disease condition and other factors.

Expert Tips

Lablol 20mg Injection can cause a drop in blood pressure when changing positions (orthostatic hypotension), leading to dizziness or lightheadedness. To minimize this, rise slowly from lying down or sitting positions. Along with medication, lifestyle modifications can help manage blood pressure. These may include maintaining a healthy diet, exercising regularly, managing stress, limiting alcohol consumption, and avoiding tobacco products.
