Description
Carvedilol Tablets 12.5mg contain carvedilol, a medication belonging to the class of drugs known as beta-blockers with additional alpha-blocking activity.
It is primarily used to treat conditions such as hypertension (high blood pressure), heart failure, and to improve survival after a heart attack.
Carvedilol works by blocking beta-adrenergic receptors, which reduces heart rate and blood pressure, and by blocking alpha-adrenergic receptors, which helps dilate blood vessels. This combined action reduces the workload on the heart and improves blood flow.
The tablets are taken orally, usually twice daily, with or after meals. Dosage may be adjusted depending on the medical condition and response to treatment.
Potential side effects include dizziness, fatigue, hypotension (low blood pressure), bradycardia (slow heart rate), and gastrointestinal discomfort. It should be used cautiously in patients with asthma, certain heart conditions, or liver impairment.
Medical supervision is essential to tailor the dosage and monitor for adverse effects.
