Carvedilol Tablets IP 3.125 mg Uses
Carvedilol is a beta-blocker medication used primarily to manage high blood pressure (hypertension), chronic heart failure, and to reduce the risk of death after a heart attack. It helps lower blood pressure, improve heart function, and reduce the workload on the heart.
How Carvedilol Works
Carvedilol works by blocking the effects of certain natural chemicals (like adrenaline) on the heart and blood vessels. This slows the heart rate, reduces the force of heart contractions, and relaxes blood vessels, which lowers blood pressure and improves blood flow.
Common Side Effects of Carvedilol
- Dizziness or lightheadedness, especially when standing up
- Fatigue or weakness
- Slow heart rate (bradycardia)
- Low blood pressure (hypotension)
- Swelling in the hands or feet
- Diarrhea or nausea
- Shortness of breath
Expert Advice for Carvedilol

- Inform your doctor if you have asthma, diabetes, or liver problems before starting Carvedilol.
