    Labetalol effectively controlled severe resistant hypertension in 50 of 83 patients. This drug is a safe option when standard treatments like thiazides and beta-blockers fail.

    Area of Science:

    • Cardiology
    • Pharmacology

    Background:

    • Severe hypertension poses significant health risks.
    • Resistant hypertension requires effective therapeutic options.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of labetalol.
    • To determine labetalol's role in managing drug-resistant hypertension.

    Main Methods:

    • A study involving 83 patients with severe hypertension.
    • Patients had hypertension resistant to multiple drug classes.
    • Labetalol was administered to assess blood pressure response.

    Main Results:

    • Adequate blood pressure control was achieved in 50 patients.
    • Seven patients discontinued labetalol due to side effects.

  • Twenty-two patients showed minimal blood pressure reduction.

    • Conclusions:

    • Labetalol is a safe therapeutic option for severe resistant hypertension.
    • It is indicated when thiazide and beta-blocking agents are insufficient.
