What is the onset of action for labetalol in reducing blood pressure and how does this influence its use in acute versus chronic hypertension management?
Labetalol acts rapidly, reducing BP within 5-10 minutes IV and 1-2 hours orally. It’s ideal for acute emergency management but also used in chronic settings.
