CARVEDILOL vs LABETALOL

I have been on Valsartan 80MG once a day Carvedilol 6mg twice a day I started back in late may. And OMG I’ve felt out of reality. I’m clumsy now. I can’t focus. I’m sluggish. I’m always tired. People talk to me and I have to force my self to focus. I am not myself no more. I used to be aware. Sh

Hi! I'm a 41 y.o. woman who's had high blood pressure since I was 20. Although I am genetically predisposed to the condition from both parents, I also spent many years being very unhealthy and sedentary. After my weight increased to around 320 pounds and I was diagnosed with sleep apnea, I finally d

I have hypertension since I’m a kid, it came with my kidney disease which became end stage kidney disease before I turned 16. I had periods after started dialysis when I didn’t needed BP meds but in the last 6 moths it was horrible, 195/120 in the morning many times. I took 10 mg Amlodipine and 5 mg

Hello everyone! I just got home from a doctor's appointment due to some back pain. Like always, whenever I'm in the clinic, my heart cant stop beating and I'm very anxious and nervous for no reason. When the doctor took my BP, I told her that I'm feeling nervous. She told me to relax and I tried. Th

So last year I managed to hit 220/120 with a panic attack. In the hospital, I seemed to hover around 180/100 when I was discharged. Heavy drinker, eating terrible, very overweight, and under-medicated. 8 months have gone by and I've lost 60 pounds, been far more aware of my salt intake, cut out alc

It has a huge heatwave in my country, my 135/80 BP skyrocketed to 207. I didn’t go to the ER. I solved it with doubleing all of my medications. I take 5 mg Amlodipine, 12,5 mg Carvedilol and 5 mg Ramipril. I took yesterday night 10 mg Amlodipin, 25 mg Carvedilol and 10 mg of Ramipril. It solved it,

ME: I agree with you. I'm really trying to make strides in the weight and exercise routines. It's just when it gets high at times like that, I tend to freak. and anxiety sets in. Do you have any suggestions as to what I should do in those circumstances? Hopefully, they are, and will continue to les

I wasn’t feeling fabulous yesterday(dizzy, tired, and had a headache). I checked my BP and it was 161/133 which is the highest I’ve ever had. Which terrified me. I went to the ER because I was very concerned regarding that. Once at the ER, they did bloodwork, urine sample, and monitored my vitals. M

Labetalol changes its affinity for alpha and beta receptors based on the route that it is administered. I am wondering if there are other drugs out there that have different pharmacology based on their route of administration?

Am I working at the last pharmacy in the country that does this? I don't mind getting used to it because I know it's the preference of the elderly pharmacy owner, and it's a great place to work. I just started there and there is enough to learn without having to look up the brand name for trihexyph

I recently finished my rotation on a medicine ward. On the last day, I was on rounds with the residents/med students and we had a pregnant lady admitted for acute hepatitis. They talked about potential causes and investigations, we told them to be careful about upping her morphine too much due to he

I am losing my mind over this. Would it be labetalol, NTG, or nicardipine? I thought yoy wpuld not use labetalol because it is a beta blocker, and not use NTG bc it woukd lower BP too quickly. so I picked nicardipine. however labetalol has both alpha and beta blocking so apparently that was the answ

Beta blockers are still prescribed as monotherapy for hypertension, especially in older patients who have been on them for many years. The kinetics of, say, metoprolol succinate are quite different from IV metoprolol, and runs of bradycardia are an issue with the latter in a patient of normal heart

Does anyone have a good potency analogy to explain that drug strengths cannot be directly compared to other drugs? I had a patient that was afraid to take labetalol 200mg because it was “higher than 10mg of lisinopril.” I’m admittedly really bad at translating stuff into layman’s terms and I did th

Yeah so thats pretty much it, anyone know where i can find stuff abt the drug discovery process for labetalol? Much appreciated
