CEBALOL 20 MG INJECTION 4 ML contains labetalol (20 mg), which works on the body as follows:

• Dual receptor blockade: Labetalol blocks both alpha and beta receptors in your cardiovascular system, allowing it to lower blood pressure through multiple pathways.

• Beta-1 receptor blocking: It reduces heart rate and the force of heart contractions by blocking beta-1 receptors in cardiac tissue, which decreases the amount of blood your heart pumps out.

• Alpha-1 receptor blocking: By blocking alpha-1 receptors in the blood vessels, labetalol causes them to relax and widen (vasodilation), thereby reducing resistance to blood flow.

• Prevention of reflex tachycardia: Unlike medicines that only dilate blood vessels, labetalol prevents the unwanted increase in heart rate that often occurs when blood pressure drops suddenly.

• Store CEBALOL 20 MG INJECTION 4 ML at room temperature.

• Keep the medicine in its original packaging until ready for use.

• Protect from light and excessive heat.

• Do not freeze the injection.

• Keep all medicines out of sight and reach of children.

• Low-sodium diet: Reducing your sodium intake can help manage high blood pressure alongside your medication. Aim to consume less than 5 g of salt daily by avoiding processed foods and not adding salt to meals.

• Regular monitoring: Keep track of your blood pressure readings at home with a reliable monitor. This helps you and your doctor understand how well your hypertension is being controlled.
