Carvid 25mg 30 Tablets

Medication Name: Carvid 25mg 30 Tablets

Active Ingredient (per tablet):

• Carvedilol 25 mg

Pharmacological Class:

• Non-selective beta-blocker with alpha-1 adrenergic blocking properties

Dosage Form:
Tablets — 30 per pack

Indications:

• Hypertension (high blood pressure)

• Chronic heart failure (as adjunct therapy)

• Angina pectoris (chest pain due to coronary artery disease)

• Left ventricular dysfunction following myocardial infarction

Mechanism of Action:

• Beta-blockade: Reduces heart rate, myocardial contractility, and cardiac output.

• Alpha-1 blockade: Causes peripheral vasodilation, lowering systemic vascular resistance.

• Combined effect leads to decreased blood pressure and improved cardiac performance.

Dosage:

• Typical adult dose: One tablet once or twice daily, depending on clinical response.

• Dose should be gradually titrated under medical supervision.

Precautions:

• Monitor blood pressure, heart rate, and blood glucose regularly.

• Avoid sudden withdrawal, which can worsen angina or cause rebound hypertension.

• Use with caution in asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, bradycardia, or heart block.

• May mask hypoglycemia symptoms in diabetic patients.

Common Side Effects:

• Dizziness or lightheadedness

• Fatigue

• Slow heartbeat (bradycardia)

• Low blood pressure (hypotension)

• Fluid retention or weight gain

• Cold hands or feet

Note:
Carvid 25mg provides dual action by blocking both beta and alpha receptors, making it effective for managing heart failure and hypertension, especially in patients who need enhanced vascular relaxation with cardiac protection.
