Monotherapy with labetalol for hypertensive patients with normal and impaired renal function. 1979

F D Thompson, and A M Joekes, and M M Hussein

1 Labetalol was given to 41 hypertensive patients in a divided dosage of 150--2,400 mg daily for periods ranging from 1--64 months. 2 Monotherapy with labetalol was adequate in 12 out of 19 patients with essential hypertension and in 15 out of the 22 with renal hypertension. 3 Following a single dose of labetalol 200 mg orally a hypotensive response was seen between 1.5 and 2 hours. 4 In the doses used there was no exercise or postural hypotension. 5 No reduction in overall renal function attributable to labetalol was seen.
