Can long-term use of labetalol lead to fluid retention and how should this potential side effect be monitored and managed?
1. Long-term use of labetalol can cause fluid retention. It should be monitored with regular weight checks and managed by adjusting the dosage or using diuretics.
2. Fluid retention is a possible side effect of prolonged labetalol use. Patients should monitor for swelling and weight gain, and possibly restrict salt intake.
