Although the literature is full of articles about Labetalol and Methyl Dopa and it was always Methyl Dopa that I used to use, I have, since about 1998, used Nifedipine much more, partly because it can be given in a slow release form, which allows once daily dosing, and partly because it seems to be freer of side effects. I still give Labetalol but generally use it in the acute phase in IV form for severe pre-eclampsia with BP above 110 diastolic.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
