Signs & Symptoms No evidence of carcinogenicity was observed after oral administration
of Exposure & to mice for 18 months or rats for 2 years.
Overexposure:
No evidence of mutagenicity was seen in dominant lethal assays in mice
and rats and a modified ames test.

Pregnancy Class C. Teratology experiments in rats and rabbits have

been negative with oral Labetalol HCl doses of up to 300 mg/kg (rats)
and 200 mg/kg (rabbits).
