Chlorvix 6.25 mg Tablet

Chlorvix 6.25 mg Tablet contains Carvedilol 6.25 mg (as carvedilol) per tablet. Prescription required.

Treatment of high blood pressure (hypertension), chronic heart failure (as part of combination therapy), and angina (chest pain)

Carvedilol is a non-selective beta-blocker with alpha-1 blocking activity. It reduces heart rate and the force of contraction and also relaxes blood vessels, lowering blood pressure and reducing the heart’s workload.

Take by mouth as advised by a doctor, preferably with food to reduce dizziness. Take at the same time each day; swallow with water. Do not stop suddenly without medical advice.

Dizziness, tiredness, low blood pressure, slow heart rate, headache, nausea, diarrhea, weight gain, swelling of ankles/feet

May cause dizziness or fainting, especially after the first dose or dose increases—rise slowly from sitting/lying positions. Do not stop abruptly (risk of worsening angina/heart failure). Use with caution in asthma/COPD, diabetes (may mask low sugar symptoms), peripheral vascular disease, liver impairment, and severe bradycardia or heart block. Monitor blood pressure and pulse regularly. Driving/operating machinery may be affected.

Other antihypertensives (additive hypotension), digoxin (may increase digoxin levels and slow heart rate), calcium channel blockers like verapamil/diltiazem (risk of bradycardia/heart block), antiarrhythmics like amiodarone, clonidine (rebound hypertension if stopped improperly), insulin/oral antidiabetics (masks hypoglycemia), NSAIDs (may reduce antihypertensive effect), CYP2D6 inhibitors like fluoxetine/paroxetine (may increase carvedilol levels)

Store below 25°C in a dry place, protected from light and moisture. Keep in original blister and out of reach of children.
