Cardivas Tablet (Carvedilol)

Introduction of Cardivas Tablet (Carvedilol)

Cardivas Tablet belongs to a class of 'blood pressure lowering medicines' called beta-blockers that are used to treat hypertension (high blood pressure), moderate to severe heart failure, and angina (cardiac chest pain). It is also sold under the brand name Coreg. In addition, Cardivas Tablet also reduces the risk of heart attack or stroke in adults. High blood pressure is a condition in which the force of the blood against the walls of the arteries is too great. This will increase the workload of the heart and arteries. If left too long, the heart and arteries cannot work properly and damage blood vessels in the heart, brain, and kidneys, leading to heart failure, stroke, or kidney failure. Cardivas Tablet contains Carvedilol which dilates blood vessels by blocking the action of certain natural substances such as epinephrine or adrenaline. Thus, lowering high blood pressure, and keeping the heart rate down slowly with less force, reduces the risk of stroke, heart attack, or other heart problems. You can take Cardivas Tablet without food and swallow it whole with a glass of water. Do not crush, chew or break it. Your doctor will advise you how often to take the medicine depending on your condition.
