Description
- Carvedilol is indicated for the treatment of mild, moderate or severe heart failure of ischemic or cardiomyopathic origin, in conjunction with digitalis, diuretics and ACE inhibitor, to reduce the progression of disease as evidenced by cardiovascular death, cardiovascular hospitalization, or the need to adjust other heart failure medications.
- Carvedilol may be used in patients unable to tolerate an ACE inhibitor. Carvedilol may be used in patients who are not receiving digitalis, hydralazine or nitrate therapy.
- Carvedilol is a cardiovascular drug whose main pharmacological action is non-selective antagonism of β-adrenergic receptors but which also possesses appreciable α-adrenergic antagonistic activity. It also has antiproliferative properties and is a scavenger of reactive free oxidant radicals. It is used in the treatment of hypertension, angina pectoris and congestive heart failure.
- The recommended dosage for Carvedilol in hypertension is initially 12.5 mg once daily, increased after 2 days to the usual dose of 25 mg once daily; if necessary the dose may be further increased at intervals of at least 2 weeks to maximum 50 mg daily in single or divided doses. In elderly patients, the initial dose of 12.5 mg daily may provide satisfactory control.
- Carvedilol should be kept below 30°C temperature, away from light & moisture and out of the reach of children.
