Lobet

Product Overview

Lobet is a medication containing the active ingredient Labetalol, formulated as tablets for oral administration. Labetalol belongs to a class of medications known as beta-blockers, which are commonly used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension). Lobet tablets are designed to help regulate blood pressure by blocking the effects of certain natural chemicals that tighten the blood vessels, allowing the heart to beat more efficiently and reducing strain on the cardiovascular system.

Uses

Lobet is primarily used to treat hypertension (high blood pressure) in adults. It is also sometimes prescribed for the management of hypertensive emergencies. Additionally, Lobet may be used off-label to manage other conditions such as angina (chest pain) and certain types of irregular heartbeat (arrhythmias). It works by relaxing blood vessels and slowing the heart rate, thereby improving blood flow and reducing blood pressure.

How to Use

Lobet tablets should be taken orally as directed by your healthcare provider. Swallow the tablet whole with a full glass of water, with or without food. Do not crush, chew, or break the tablet, as this may alter its effects. It is important to take Lobet regularly to get the most benefit from it. Follow your doctor’s instructions carefully and do not stop taking Lobet suddenly without consulting your healthcare provider.

How it Works

Lobet contains Labetalol, which works by blocking the action of certain natural chemicals in the body, such as epinephrine, that affect the heart and blood vessels. By blocking these chemicals, Labetalol helps to relax and widen blood vessels, allowing blood to flow more easily and reducing the workload on the heart. This results in a decrease in blood pressure and helps to prevent complications associated with hypertension, such as heart attack, stroke, and kidney problems.

Dosage and Administration

The dosage of Lobet will vary depending on your medical condition and response to treatment. It is typically started at a low dose and gradually increased as needed under the supervision of your doctor. The usual recommended dose for hypertension is 100 mg to 200 mg taken orally twice daily. Your doctor may adjust the dosage based on your blood pressure response. It is important to take Lobet exactly as prescribed and to attend regular follow-up appointments with your healthcare provider.
