Additional Information
Why is this medication prescribed
Carvedilol is used in combination with other medications to treat heart failure. It also is used alone or in combination with other medications to treat high blood pressure. Carvedilol is a combination of two classes of drugs called beta-blockers and alpha-blockers. It works by relaxing the blood vessels so your heart does not have to pump as hard.
This medication is sometimes prescribed for other uses; ask your doctor or pharmacist for more information.
Other uses for this medicine
Carvedilol also is used occasionally to treat angina (chest pain) and heart muscle disease. Talk to your doctor about the possible risks of using this drug for your condition.
What other information should I know
If you wear contact lenses, you may have dry eyes while taking carvedilol. If this happens, you can use eyedrops that are safe for contact lenses.
Keep all appointments with your doctor and the laboratory. Your doctor will need to determine your response to carvedilol. Your doctor may ask you to check your pulse (heart rate). Ask your pharmacist or doctor to teach you how to take your pulse. If your pulse is faster or slower than it should be, call your doctor.
Do not let anyone else take your medication. Ask your pharmacist any questions you have about refilling your prescription.
In case of emergency overdose
In case of overdose, call your local poison control center at 1-800-222-1222. If the victim has collapsed or is not breathing, call local emergency services at 911.
