Carvedilol

Uses

Carvedilol is used in the treatment of hypertension (high blood pressure), angina (heart-related chest pain), and heart failure.

How it Works

How Carvedilol works: Carvedilol is an alpha and beta blocker. It functions by slowing down the heart rate and relaxing blood vessels, which enhances the heart's efficiency in pumping blood throughout the body.

Side Effects

Common side effects of Carvedilol include fatigue, dizziness, hypotension (low blood pressure), diarrhea, increased blood glucose levels, weight gain, slow heart rate, weakness, and nausea.

Expert Advice

It should be taken with food.
Check your blood pressure one week after starting Carvedilol, and inform your doctor if it has not improved.
Carvedilol may cause dizziness or sleepiness.
Do not drive or engage in activities requiring concentration until you know how it affects you.
It is advisable to avoid drinking alcohol while taking Carvedilol, as it may exacerbate side effects.
Do not stop taking Carvedilol suddenly, as this can cause a sudden increase in blood pressure, thereby raising the risk of heart attack and stroke.

Frequently asked questions

Does Carvedilol cause fatigue?

Yes, Carvedilol can cause tiredness and dizziness, especially when starting treatment or increasing the dose. Avoid driving or operating machinery if you experience these symptoms.

Who should avoid taking Carvedilol?

Carvedilol should be avoided in patients with severe heart failure requiring intensive care, those with asthma or breathing problems, slow or irregular heartbeats, liver issues, or allergies to the medication.

Can Carvedilol lead to kidney failure?

Carvedilol may rarely worsen kidney function in heart failure patients, particularly those with low blood pressure, arterial hardening, or pre-existing kidney issues. Such patients should be monitored closely, but kidney function typically returns to baseline after discontinuation.

Is weight gain a side effect of Carvedilol?

Can diabetic patients safely use Carvedilol?

Should Carvedilol be taken on an empty stomach?

Carvedilol should be taken with food to slow absorption and reduce the risk of orthostatic hypotension, which can cause dizziness or fainting.

What serious side effects can Carvedilol cause?

Serious side effects of Carvedilol include fainting, shortness of breath, weight gain, swelling in extremities, chest pain, slow or irregular heartbeat, rash, hives, itching, and difficulty breathing or swallowing. Contact your doctor immediately if you experience any of these symptoms.

What are the consequences of abruptly stopping Carvedilol?

Stopping Carvedilol suddenly can lead to chest pain or heart attack. Your doctor may gradually reduce your dose before discontinuation if necessary.

What should I do if I exceed the recommended dose of Carvedilol?

If you take more than the recommended dose of Carvedilol, you may experience slow heartbeat, dizziness, fainting, difficulty breathing, vomiting, or seizures. Seek immediate medical assistance.
