Labetalol is safe and effective for managing hypertension in pregnancy, reducing risks of pre-eclampsia without major fetal risks. It effectively controls blood pressure by blocking alpha and beta-adrenergic receptors.
Labetalol is commonly used during pregnancy to control high blood pressure. It benefits maternal health and lowers the likelihood of hypertension complications, but should be used under a doctor’s supervision.
