WHAT PRESOLOL IS
USED FOR
PRESOLOL contains the active
ingredient labetalol hydrochloride
and is used to lower high blood
pressure, also called hypertension.
Everyone has blood pressure. This
pressure helps to circulate your blood
all around your body. Your blood
pressure may be different during
different times of the day, depending
on how busy or worried you are. You
have hypertension (high blood
pressure) when your blood pressure
stays higher than normal, even when
you are calm and relaxed.
There are usually no symptoms of
hypertension. The only way of
knowing that you have hypertension
is to have your blood pressure
checked on a regular basis. You may
feel fine and have no symptoms, but
if high blood pressure is not treated it
can lead to serious health problems.
This medicine belongs to a group of
medicines called beta-blockers.
These medicines work by changing
the body's response to some nerve
impulses. As a result, it widens blood
vessels in the body causing blood
pressure to fall.
ASK YOUR DOCTOR IF YOU HAVE ANY
QUESTIONS ABOUT WHY THIS MEDICINE
HAS BEEN PRESCRIBED FOR YOU.

CLINICAL PARTICULARS
4.1
THERAPEUTIC INDICATIONS
Treatment of all grades of hypertension.
4.2
DOSE AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
PRESOLOL tablets are to be taken orally, preferably after meals.
For all patients, the dosage of PRESOLOL must be titrated against
blood pressure response.
The recommended starting dose for all patients is 100 mg to 200 mg
twice daily. The dosage should then be
increased at weekly intervals until satisfactory control of blood
pressure is attained. It is important to follow
these dosage instructions and to increase the dosage gradually, in
order to minimise side effects.
Effective daily doses vary between 200 mg and 2.4 g. In those patients
on high doses, a regimen of three to
four doses a day may be necessary.
Hypertension may be controlled by PRESOLOL alone. If PRESOLOL tablets
are prescribed with diuretics,
or other antihypertensive agents, an additive effect can be expected.
When transferring patients from other treatment regimens, PRESOLOL
should be introduced in the manner
described above and the dosage of other treatments should be reduced
gradually.
4.3
CONTRAINDICATIONS
Beta-blockers are usually contraindicated in a variety of conditions
and as labetalol has not yet been fully
investigated for its effect on these conditions, they should be
treated as contraindications until further
information is available.
