Carca 6.25

Take by mouth as advised by the doctor, preferably at the same time each day. Commonly taken with food to reduce the chance of dizziness/low blood pressure; swallow tablet with water and do not stop suddenly without medical advice.

Carvedilol is a non-selective beta-blocker with alpha-1 blocking activity. It slows heart rate and reduces the force of contraction (beta-blockade) and relaxes blood vessels (alpha-blockade), lowering blood pressure and reducing cardiac workload.

May cause dizziness or fainting especially after first dose or dose increase—rise slowly from sitting/lying. Do not stop abruptly (risk of worsening angina/heart issues); taper under medical supervision. Use with caution in asthma/COPD (may trigger bronchospasm), diabetes (may mask low sugar symptoms), thyroid disorders, severe liver disease, peripheral vascular disease, and conduction disorders (heart block/bradycardia). Monitor blood pressure and pulse; seek help for wheezing, swelling, sudden weight gain, severe dizziness or very slow pulse.

Other blood pressure medicines (ACE inhibitors/ARBs, diuretics, calcium channel blockers like verapamil/diltiazem), digoxin, antiarrhythmics (amiodarone), clonidine (withdrawal issues), insulin/oral antidiabetics (may mask hypoglycemia), NSAIDs (may reduce BP-lowering effect), rifampicin (reduces carvedilol levels), cimetidine (may increase levels), antidepressants like fluoxetine/paroxetine (may increase levels), alcohol (adds to hypotension/dizziness).

Store at room temperature below 25°C, protected from light and moisture. Keep in original pack and out of reach of children.
