Active Ingredient: Carvedilol 25 mg
Pack Size: 100 tablets
Therapeutic Class: Beta-blocker and vasodilator

Description

Carvedilol is a prescription medicine used to treat cardiovascular conditions including high blood pressure (hypertension), chronic heart failure, and angina (chest pain). It helps reduce the workload on the heart and improves blood flow by relaxing blood vessels.

Uses

• High blood pressure (hypertension)
• Chronic heart failure
• Angina (chest pain)
• Reduction of certain cardiovascular risks after a heart attack in appropriate patients

How It Works

Carvedilol blocks both beta receptors in the heart and alpha-1 receptors in blood vessels. This slows the heart rate and widens blood vessels, helping to lower blood pressure and reduce strain on the heart.

Dosage

• The dose varies according to the condition being treated.
• For hypertension, treatment is often started at a lower dose and adjusted gradually.
• Tablets should be taken exactly as prescribed by a healthcare professional.

Common Side Effects

• Dizziness
• Fatigue
• Low blood pressure
• Slow heart rate (bradycardia)
• Headache
• Nausea

Important Precautions

• Do not stop taking carvedilol suddenly without medical advice.
• Use with caution in patients with asthma, certain heart rhythm disorders, diabetes, or liver disease.
• May cause dizziness, especially when treatment is started or the dose is increased.
