For patients with persistent hypertension after GHTN or PE, I recommend oral long-acting nifedipine XL (30 mg every 12 hours) or oral
labetalol (200 mg every 8-12 hours).
Patients were randomly assigned into two groups to receive either oral Nifedipine or intravenous
Labetalol. The data was collected and analyzed on SPSS version 20.
Other antihypertensive agents used during breastfeeding and found to be safe are diuretics and beta-blockers, such as
labetalol and nifedipine.
Injection
labetalol was given to 61 (87%) and oral
labetalol was given to 9 (13%) patients who were fully conscious.
Acute BP control with intravenous (IV)
labetalol or hydralazine or oral nifedipine is recommended when a patient has a hypertensive emergency, defined as acute-onset severe hypertension that persists for [greater than or equal to] 15 minutes (TABLE 2).
(5, 6)
labetalol (7, 8) or landiolol (9)) with bradycardia, antihypertensive, antiarrythmic and anti-ischemic properties have found a role in preventing cardiovascular responses to intubation.
Objective: To compare the effects of
labetalol and methyldopa on mean diastolic blood pressure in patients with pre-eclampsia.
Continuous intravenous antihypertensive medication using nicardipine or
labetalol was administered for 24 h.
The five circulars also included recalling '
Labetalol Hydrochloride Injection, USP, 100 mg/20ml Vial' manufactured by Hospira Inc, which is not registered with the ministry.
To normalize blood pressure, she was administered 100 mg
labetalol, a cardioselective beta blocker, twice a day in addition to a previous antihypertensive regime, which brought her blood pressure down to 146/88 mmHg in 6 days.
Labetalol. Intravenous
labetalol has been associated with severe hyperkalemia for the treatment of acute hypertension in hemodialysis patients, renal transplant patients, and in preeclampsia [8-10].
Labetalol was introduced in 1976 as a and P receptor antagonist for control of arterial BP and HR.
In addition, Atropine Sulfate, Calcium Chloride and
Labetalol Hydrochloride are available on the National Drug Shortage list.
The NIU provides bedside telemetry, intracranial pressure monitoring, arterial blood pressure monitoring, serial neurological checks, and titration of cardiac and vasoactive medications such as nicardipine,
labetalol, and diltiazem.
Objective: To compare the intravenous
Labetalol versus intravenous hydralazine in patients having severe Pregnancy induced hypertension (PIH) and pre eclampsia (PE) in pregnancy.
