A member asked:

Can someone who has been using atenolol for high blood pressure switch to labetalol abruptly?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: You can make the switch abruptly but must only do so on the advice of your physician. Your doctor will be able to choose the appropriate dose of labetalol to switch to based on your current atenolol dose and BP control and needs. Good luck!!
