Labetalol may potentiate the effects of psychiatric drugs causing bradycardia or hypotension. Monitor blood pressure and adjust dosages carefully.
When labetalol is combined with antipsychotics or antidepressants, there’s an increased risk of low blood pressure. Close monitoring is vital.
Combining labetalol with psychiatric meds can enhance sedative effects. Caution is advised to avoid excessive drowsiness or hypotension.
