Labetalol is a medication used to treat high blood pressure and in long term management of angina.[1][2] This includes essential hypertension, hypertensive emergencies, and hypertension of pregnancy.[2] In essential hypertension it is generally less preferred than a number of other blood pressure medications.[1] It can be given by mouth or by injection into a vein.[1] Common side effects include low blood pressure...

I started with 100 mg twice per day of labetalol HCl. I immediately became so dry that I couldn't talk without a bottle of water. My doctor cut dosage in half and added Benicar to the cocktail. I had an allergic reaction to benicar. It was replaced with 40 mgs. of lisinapril. Not strong enough. Need any suggestions. ## Hello, Belle! How are you? The dry mouth from the Labetalol will usually wear off after a month or so, once your body gets used to the medication. It annoyed me, at first, too. However, having been on it for awhile now, it is no longer a problem, at all. So, if it was helping your blood pressure, then you might want to go back to a higher dose of it and just wait it out for awhile. Other side effects may include nausea, dizziness, headache and hypotension. Is there an...

Our baby son has just been diagnosed with cht My partner is worried that use of labetalol in pregnancy may have caused or contributed to this. Has any one else had similar concerns please? ## The U.S. FDA classifies it as pregnancy category c, which means animals studies have failed to show it as being teratogenic. Although, there has been some data that shows it may be associated with birth defects, but since studies have not been done, there is not certain proof. It is, however, generally considered the safest choice for a pregnant woman that needs to control her blood pressure. What have the doctors said about it?

Is Labetalol HCL compatible with Prednisone 10 mg + Chlorthalidone 10 mgm + Duloxetine 60 mgm + Amlodipine? My husband has been taking these drugs and has begun to hallucinate! ## Hello, Joanie! How is your husband doing? Has there been any change? It is difficult to say what might be cause it, it could be due to one of these medications, or it may be unrelated. According to NIH reports, hallucinations can occur for many different reasons. Has his doctor been consulted? Having this checked out would be the best way to get to the root of the problem. ## My husband is doing slightly better...thanks for asking! I cut back on the Labetalol and at the doctor's suggestion, stopped his Duloxetine for three days. We will see if this stops the hallucinations ans the night restlessness.

My husband takes this pill and he is a diabetic with kidney disease. This medicine has his legs and feet feeling cold all the time and he is in pain. What can he do to prevent this or help with the coldness? Also, is there another high blood pressure medication that he can take that will not cause these side effects and is safe to take with his diabetic medicine and wont cause a lot of harm to his kidneys? ## Hello, Jackie! How are you? What other medications does he take? I'm not saying that the Labetalol doesn't cause this, because it can, but it is very unusual. It's actually known to usually cause fewer side effects than most similar drugs. Has he consulted his doctor?

I want to know if it would be ok to take atenolol in place of the labetalol I've been taking, but ran out of? ## Hi Kerri, Both Atenolol and Labetalol are in the same drug class called Beta-blockers which are marketed for use in treating high blood pressure. According to medlineplus.gov, both medications work by relaxing blood vessels and slowing heart rate to improve blood flow and decrease blood pressure. - Atenolol reportedly has an estimated elimination half-life of 6-7 hours (taken orally in tablet form) - Labetalol reportedly has an estimated elimination half-life of 6-8 hours (taken orally in tablet form) What I don't know is how they compare to one another in terms of potency, efficacy, and dosing. So this particular aspect of things is probably something you'd want ...

what numbers would you find on a prescription bottle for labetalol identifying it as that drug. ## what numbers would you find on a prescription bottle of lamitcal? ## What numbers are you referring to? Did you mean the NDC (National Drug Code) numbers? If so, then I would need the relevant dosage. As to other numbers on the bottle, such as the RX number, those are internal to the pharmacy and only relevant to their computer systems.

side 1: PP 168 side 2: 25 25 50 50 Break Scored for each indicator Pill is about 1/8 inch thick and white was in bottle with 100 mg Labetalol ## I found something very close to your description. Only difference is that instead of PP it is more like MP (but the M and P seem to be combined). First, check a picture out here. If you think it's a match then that is 150 mg Trazodone. Hope this helps!

What is a white round pill labeled watson 606 ## Hello, Jesse! How are you? Watson lists this tablet as containing 200mgs of Labetalol and I can actually verify that, since I have a bottle right here and take 3 a day. LOL It is most commonly used to treat high blood pressure and, as listed by the FDA, its typical side effects may possibly include nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth, increased urination and hypotension. It was prescribed for me, because I am very sensitive to many medications and this one is known to be very effective, without causing as many side effects. Is there anything else I can help with?

Im taking Diovan HCT 160/12.5 for my blood pressure but it is still little high.I have a second medicine I used to take Labetalol HCL 200mg.Is it ok to take them both? ## Okay first, what numbers do you consider a little high? You have to understand what when someone has high blood pressure, the basic goal is usually 135/85 or right around there, because in many cases it isn't practical to try to get them to 120/80 or lower. You also need to be watching what you eat, such as keeping your sodium as low as possible and not overdoing your fluid intake, to help lower it. On top of that you also need to be getting regular exercise. Learn more hypertension details here. Other factors that come into play would be the time of day you are checking it, because it is normal for some fluctuatio...

I got a new blood pressure medication today. The pharmacy did not put child proof caps on my medicine like I have requested the last 6 years. Well, half of my Labetalol 100 mg spilled on the floor. All are accounted for except for one. I looked everywhere but could not find it. If my 10 yr old 16 pound minischnauzer finds and eats it, will it kill or harm her? (Note: my dog eats pills like they are treats.) ## I see this was posted a few months ago, so I hope all is well and your dog didn't get ill. For future reference, however, if you have a question about an animal, please contact your veterinarian. Our website and my own knowledge are specialized in information on the use of medications and their effects on humans. We have no information on how they may effect animals. Did your ...

## found 2 white round pills say watson-606,,,some-one told me they were pain pillls,,,??/dont no--what are they thank you ## Watson lists this tablet as containing 200mgs of Labetalol, which is used to treat high blood pressure, and certain cardiac conditions. I can add extra confirmation to this, because I just took one less than hour ago, as prescribed, for my blood pressure and cardiac condition. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, increased urination, and hypotension. It is not used to treat pain. Is there anything else I can help with?
