See less2. Discontinue labetalol carefully to prevent withdrawal symptoms such as tachycardia and elevated BP levels.
3. Ending labetalol treatment? Do it slowly over 1-2 weeks to reduce risks like a sudden spike in blood pressure.
4. To avoid withdrawal and rebound hypertension, decrease labetalol dose steadily rather than stopping abruptly.
5. Gradual reduction of labetalol is essential to sidestep potential rebound hypertension and withdrawal issues.
