Class:
Blocks alpha-1 receptors and nonselective beta-receptors to decrease BP.

This drug works by blocking the action of certain natural chemicals in your body (such as epinephrine) that affect the heart and blood vessels. This effect lowers heart rate, blood pressure, and strain on the heart.

How should I take carvedilol?

Do not take in larger or smaller amounts or for longer than recommended



Carvedilol works best if you take it with food.




Take carvedilol at the same time every day.





Do not skip doses or stop taking carvedilol without first talking to your doctor. Stopping suddenly may make your condition worse.



You may open the carvedilol capsule and sprinkle the medicine into a spoonful of pudding or applesauce to make swallowing easier. Swallow right away without chewing. Do not save the mixture for later use. Discard the empty capsule.




If you are being treated for high blood pressure, keep using this medication even if you feel well. High blood pressure often has no symptoms. You may need to use blood pressure medication for the rest of your life.






Your blood pressure will need to be checked often. Visit your doctor regularly.







If you need surgery, tell the surgeon ahead of time that you are using carvedilol. You may need to stop using the medicine for a short time.





Carvedilol can affect your pupils during cataract surgery. Tell your eye surgeon ahead of time that you are using this medication. Do not stop using carvedilol before surgery unless your surgeon tells you to.



Carvedilol is only part of a complete program of treatment for hypertension that may also include diet, exercise, and weight control. Follow your diet, medication, and exercise routines very closely if you are being treated for hypertension.





Store at room temperature away from moisture and heat.









What should I avoid while taking carvedilol?






Carvedilol may impair your thinking or reactions. Be careful if you drive or do anything that requires you to be alert.







Avoid drinking alcohol within 2 hours before or after taking extended-release carvedilol Also avoid taking medicines or other products that might contain alcohol.
Alcohol may cause the carvedilol in to be released too quickly into the body. Check the labels of any prescription or over-the-counter medicines you take to see if they contain alcohol (also called ethanol).
وخصوصا ادوية الكحة



Avoid getting up too fast from a sitting or lying position, or you may feel dizzy. Get up slowly and steady yourself to prevent a fall.
