A member asked:
In the case of a stimulant overdose. would labetalol protect the cns (and not just the blood vessels) from any damage if administered early enough?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not really: Labetalol will only protect from some of the blood pressure effects, not other CNS effects like seizures or hallucinations. recommend consulting a doctor urgently or going to ER if this hypothetical question is actually occurring
