Alphadopa L Tablet 10 contains a single active ingredient, Labetalol (100 mg), which acts on your body in the following ways:

• Blocks beta receptors: Labetalol works by blocking certain receptors in your cardiovascular system called beta receptors. Blocking these receptors helps in reducing your blood pressure.
• Relaxes and widens blood vessels: By blocking these beta receptors, Labetalol helps relax and widen your blood vessels, enabling your heart to pump blood more easily.
• Lowers heart Rate: Labetalol also impacts your heart by slowing down its rate of beating, further assisting in the management of high blood pressure.
• Reduces strain on the heart: The combined effect of blood vessel relaxation, improved blood flow, and a slower heart rate reduces the overall strain on your heart, contributing to more effective blood pressure management.

• Keep your Alphadopa L Tablet 10 in its original packaging until it is time to take it.
• Store at room temperature, in a cool, dry place.
• Protect the Tablet from excessive light and moisture; avoid storing it in the bathroom.

• Since Alphadopa L Tablet 10 is used to manage hypertension, consider reducing your salt intake. High sodium levels can raise blood pressure.
• Incorporate regular physical activity into your routine, such as walking or cycling. Regular exercise helps lower blood pressure over time. However, consult your doctor before starting any new exercise programme.
