   The mixed alpha-and beta blocker labetalol is especially useful for treatment of concomitant tachycardia and hypertension induced by methamphetamine. [51] The phenomenon of "unopposed alpha stimulation" has not been reported with the use of beta blockers for treatment of methamphetamine toxicity. [51]

   Interactions with such drugs can cause either an unintended increase in blood pressure or potentiate an increase in blood pressure. [2] Finally, in drugs with both alpha and beta blocking properties, such as carvedilol and labetalol, interactions with other alpha or beta blockers can exaggerate a decrease in blood pressure. [2]

7. Cardiovascular agents - Wikipedia

   Chlorthalidone is the thiazide drug that is most strongly supported by the evidence as providing a mortality benefit; in the ALLHAT study, a chlorthalidone dose of 12.5 mg was used, with titration up to 25 mg for those subjects who did not achieve blood pressure control at 12.5 mg. Chlorthalidone has repeatedly been found to have a stronger ...
