Carvedilol

By clicking the “I Agree” button below, you certify under penalty of perjury that the following statements are true and correct and understand that a medical provider will rely on the truthfulness of your statements when determining whether a prescription is warranted and appropriate.

I agree that I:

am 18 years or older
have not had a hypersensitivity reaction to carvedilol or any component of the formulation

have a diagnosis of high blood pressure and/or heart failure and already been taking carvedilol as prescribed by an authorized healthcare provider
Am taking carvedilol as prescribed for my own personal use

do not have a history of the following heart conditions: decompensated cardiac failure requiring intravenous inotropic therapy, bronchial asthma or related bronchospastic conditions, second or third degree atrioventricular (AV) block, cardiogenic shock, sinus bradycardia, sick sinus syndrome, or vasospastic angina
do not have severe hepatic impairment
do not have second- or third-degree heart block, or significant first-degree heart block
understand beta-blocker therapy, such as carvedilol, should not be withdrawn abruptly, but gradually tapered to avoid severe exacerbation of chest pain, the occurrence of heart attack, ventricular arrhythmias, acute tachycardia, high blood pressure, and/or ischemia in patients with underlying cardiovascular disease.
do not have hepatic (liver) impairment, renal (kidney) impairment
am not pregnant or breastfeeding
have already been taking the initial dose (carvedilol 3.125 mg) or have been previously prescribed carvedilol 6.25 mg, carvedilol 12.5 mg, or carvedilol 25 mg if selecting carvedilol 6.25 mg, carvedilol 12.5 mg, or carvedilol 25 mg
understand symptomatic hypotension with or without syncope may occur with carvedilol (usually within the first 30 days of therapy)
understand carvedilol may aggravate the following medical conditions and thus must be used with caution or avoided: asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), diabetes, myasthenia gravis, peripheral vascular disease, untreated pheochromocytoma, psoriasis, renal impairment, thyroid disease, vasospastic angina
understand beta-blockers may cause bradycardia or first, second, or third-degree atrioventricular (AV) heart block, or complete atrioventricular block
understand nonselective beta-blockers (eg, carvedilol) have a higher risk of bronchospasm compared to cardioselective beta-blockers and may lead to drug discontinuation in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases (COPD) or asthma
Understand beta-blockers may cause reversible CNS effects such as fatigue, insomnia, vivid dreams, memory impairment, and sexual disorder
Understand beta-blockers may worsen, prolong, or cause hypoglycemia (ie, low blood sugar). Additionally, beta-blockers may mask symptoms of hypoglycemia (tremor, irritability, palpitations), making diaphoresis (ie, excessive sweating) the only symptom unaffected by beta-blockers.
Will not take nor intend to take the following concurrently with carvedilol due to severe or major drug-drug interactions: afatinib, alpha-2 agonists, amifostine, beta-2 agonists, bilastine, bromperidol, ceritinib, colchicine, dronedarone, etofylline, fexinidazole, fingolimod, grass pollen allergen extract, isocarboxazid, Lefamulin, mavorixafor, Obinutuzumab, patiromer, pazopanib, ponesimod, pralsetinib, relugolix, repotrectinib, Rimegepant, rivastigmine, Siponimod, sirolimus, talazoparib, tasimelteon, topotecan, Ubrogepant, venetoclax, vincristine, white birch allergen extract
Understand concurrent use of carvedilol with amiodarone, digoxin, or verapamil may cause heart block, bradycardia, and/or left ventricular dysfunction

Medication Description

Carvedilol is a prescription beta-blocker used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension), mild to severe heart failure, and left ventricular dysfunction following a heart attack.

It works by blocking beta-adrenergic receptors, which reduces heart rate and the force of contraction, while also promoting vasodilation (widening of blood vessels). This helps lower blood pressure, reduce the heart's workload, and improve heart function over time.

How To Use:

Dosage varies based on indication and individual responses.

It's recommended to always take with food to reduce the risk of orthostatic hypotension (a sudden drop in blood pressure when standing or sitting)

May be used alone or in combination with other antihypertensives

Dosage adjustments should be guided by your doctor based on response and tolerance

Note: Regular monitoring of blood pressure, heart rate, and symptoms is important during titration.
Carvedilol Side Effects

Carvedilol Potential Side Effects: bradycardia, low blood pressure, fatigue, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, headache, sleep disorder.
