How Carivalan 12.5/5 Tab Works

Carvedilol is a non-selective beta-blocker with alpha-1 blocking action that slows the heart rate and lowers blood pressure, reducing cardiac workload. Ivabradine selectively inhibits the If current in the sinoatrial node, lowering heart rate without reducing contractility. Together they improve heart efficiency and symptom control in selected patients.

Dosage & Directions

Take by mouth exactly as prescribed. Usually taken twice daily with food (carvedilol is best taken with meals to reduce dizziness); swallow whole with water. Do not stop suddenly; dose is typically titrated based on heart rate and blood pressure.

Always follow your doctor's prescription. Do not self-medicate.
