Product Description
Coreg (Carvedilol)
DRUG CLASS AND MECHANISM : Carvedilol is a medicine applied
for the treatment of high blood pressure and congestive heart failure.
It is similar to labetalol (Normodyne, Trandate). Carvedilol blocks receptors
of the adrenergic nervous system where epinephrine (adrenalin) works.
Nerves from the adrenergic system go to the heart by means of what an
adrenergic chemical (norepinephrine) is exempted. This chemical cooperates
with receptors on the heart's muscle and it forces heart to beat more
strongly and fastly. Carvedilol blocking the receptors diminishes rate
of the heart and force of contraction and it decreases the work of the
heart. Carvedilol also leads to enlargement of arteries by blocking adrenergic
receptors on them and causes the reduction of blood pressure. This reduction
of blood pressure decreases the heart's work because of easier pumping
blood against a lower pressure. Carvedilol was firstly approved by the
FDA in 1995.
GENERIC AVAILABLE : No.
PRESCRIPTION : YES.
PREPARATIONS : Tablets, 3.125mg, 6.25mg, 12.5mg, and 25mg.
STORAGE : Tablets should be kept at room temperature, 15- 30°C (59-86°F).
PRESCRIBED FOR : Carvedilol is accepted alone or in combination with a diuretic ("water-pill") in case of high blood pressure. Carvedilol also may be combinated with other medicines to operate mild or moderate congestive heart failure. In combination with other drugs for heart disease among patients with recent heart attacks, carvedilol can decrease the risk of a second heart attack by 40% and extend survival to patients with congestive heart failure.
DOSING : Carvedilol usually is accepted twice a day. The advised doses: for high blood pressure - the dose may range from 6.25mg to a maximum of 25mg twice a day; for congestive heart failure, the dose may range from 3.25mg to 25mg twice a day if person's weighing less than 85kg (187 pounds) or 50mg twice daily if person's weighing more than 85kg (187 pounds). Carvedilol should be accepted with meal because this extends the quantity of absorbed drug that reaches the heart and arteries. You should consult with your doctor in case of stopping and changing doses of carvedilol because sudden changes in dose may lead to serious cardiac complications such as arrhythmias.
DRUG INTERACTIONS : Carvedilol can mask early warning symptoms of hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) such as tremors and extended heart rate. (These symptoms are caused by activation of the adrenergic nervous system, blocking by the carvedilol.) That's why, diabetics taking medicins that lower blood sugar such as insulin or oral anti-diabetic druds may need to extend the frequency of monitoring their blood sugar. Application of carvedilol in combination with calcium channel blockers such as diltiazem (Cardizem) or verapamil (Calan) may lead to irregular heart rhythm or extending of blood pressure. Reserpine, monoamine oxidase inhibitors (phenelzine or isocarboxazid) and clonidine (Catapres), because of their related mechanisms of action to carvedilol, can strongly affect on it and cause big decline of blood pressure and/or heart rate, that's why the patients may be needed a close monitoring of blood pressure and heart rate. Patients consuming digoxin may need monitoring of digoxin blood level because of Carvedilol may lead to an increase in digoxin (Lanoxin) blood levels. The carvedilol blood level can be sharply decreased by Rifampin (Rifadin), that's why in patients taking rifampin, the dose of carvedilol may need to be increased. Carvedilol have a common way of elimination by the liver with several other drugs such as quinidine (Quinaglute), fluoxetine (Prozac), paroxetine (Paxil), or propafenone (Rythmol). Usage of these drugs may block the elimination of carvedilol. Tere were no studies about influense of these drugs on the elimination of carvedilol; however, carvedilol blood levels may be extended (along with the risk for carvedilol's side effects) if patients are accepting any of these drugs. Carvedilol may extend the levels of cyclosporin in the blood (Sandimmune, Neoral), and the dose of cyclosporin may need to be adapted when the two drugs are accepted together.
PREGNANCY : Safe use of carvedilol in pregnant women has not been adequately evaluated.
NURSING MOTHERS : The studies with carvedilol are not available in nursing mothers; but usage is not recommended due to the risk of a slow heart rate in the infant.
SIDE EFFECTS : Carvedilol has few collateral effects.The most common are dizziness, edema (fluid accumulation), decreased heart rate, diarrhea and postural hypotension (a rapid decline in blood pressure when going from the seated to the standing position that causes light-headedness and/or fainting). You should accept carvedilol with meals because it minimizes the risk of postural hypotension. Other common side effects of carvedilol are irregular heart rhythm, and abnormalities of vision. Patients who use diuretics or who are elderly or have cirrhosis, asthma, peripheral vascular disease, hyperthyroidism, Prinzmetal's variant angina (angina at rest), and kidney disease should use arvedilol cautiously.
