Labetalol HCl 5mg | 20mL Injectable MDV

The Labetalol HCl 5mg per 20mL Injectable Multi-Dose Vial (MDV) is a pharmaceutical product designed to provide healthcare professionals with a reliable and effective option for managing hypertension in clinical settings. Labetalol is a mixed alpha/beta-adrenergic antagonist that is commonly used to rapidly lower blood pressure in patients with hypertensive emergencies and for long-term management of hypertension. Its formulation in a multi-dose vial allows for flexibility in dosing and ease of administration, making it suitable for both emergency and routine use.

Key Features:

• Effective Hypertension Management: Labetalol HCl works by blocking both alpha and beta receptors in the body, leading to a decrease in blood pressure. It effectively lowers systolic and diastolic blood pressure by reducing peripheral vascular resistance without significantly affecting heart rate or cardiac output.
• Versatile Use: This injectable form of Labetalol is ideal for acute treatment in hypertensive emergencies and can also be used for chronic management of hypertension. Its rapid onset of action makes it suitable for situations requiring immediate blood pressure control, such as preoperative, perioperative, and postoperative settings.
• Multi-Dose Vial (MDV): The 20mL multi-dose vial offers convenience for repeated dosing, reducing the need for multiple single-dose vials. This format is especially useful in high-volume healthcare settings, such as hospitals and emergency departments, where quick access to medications is critical.
• Precise Dosing: Each mL of the solution contains 5mg of Labetalol HCl, allowing for precise and customizable dosing based on patient needs. This flexibility is crucial in achieving the desired therapeutic effect while minimizing the risk of adverse reactions.
• Rapid Onset and Duration: Labetalol provides a quick onset of action, with effects typically observed within 5 minutes of administration. Its duration of action ranges from 2 to 6 hours, depending on the dose and individual patient response.
• Well-Tolerated: Labetalol is generally well-tolerated, with a lower incidence of side effects compared to other antihypertensive agents. Common side effects may include dizziness, nausea, and fatigue, which are usually mild and transient.
