Abstract
Two infants with features of severe beta adrenergic blockade, pericard ial effusions, and myocardial hypertrophy were born to mothers receivi ng long term treatment with oral labetalol for hypertension in pregnan cy. Labetalol was implicated in the aetiology of these problems. Peric ardial effusion and myocardial hypertrophy have not been associated wi th labetalol toxicity in neonates.
