What is Labetalol HCL?
Active Ingredients: Labetalol HCL
Labetalol HCL Tablets are a drug used to treat hypertension (high blood pressure). This medication may be used as a monotherapy or together with other antihypertensive medications. Lowering blood pressure reduces the risk of stroke, heart attack, kidney problems, heart disease, and other related issues.
Labetalol HCL is classified as a combined alpha and beta-adrenoceptor blocker. It works by blocking epinephrine and other chemicals in the heart and blood vessels. This activity helps to lower the heart rate and strain on the heart.
