in addition to its needed effects, some unwanted effects may be caused by labetalol. In the event that any of these side effects do occur, they may require medical attention.
Details:
Labetalol is used for:
Treating high blood pressure. It may be used alone or in combination with other medicines, such as diuretics. It may also be used for other conditions as determined by your doctor.
Labetalol is an adrenergic receptor blocker. It works by blocking both alpha and beta receptors in the body, which lowers blood pressure.

you are allergic to any ingredient in labetalol
you have second- or third-degree (complete) heart block, moderate to severe first-degree heart block after a heart attack, heart failure, a certain abnormal electrocardiogram (ECG) (prolonged QT interval), or shock caused by serious heart problems
