Active Ingredients:
Carvedilol
Therapeutic actions:
Coreg is an alpha- and beta-blocker. It works by relaxing the blood vessels, slowing down the heart, and decreasing the amount of blood it pumps out. This decreases blood pressure, helps the heart pump more efficiently, and reduces the workload on the heart.
What is it used for?:
• Treatment of mild-to-severe chronic heart failure of ischemic or cardiomyopathic origin;
• To reduce cardiovascular mortality in clinically stable patients who have survived the acute phase of a myocardial infarction and have a left ventricular ejection fraction of ≤40% (with or without symptomatic heart failure);
• Management of essential hypertension. It can be used alone or in combination with other antihypertensive agents, especially thiazide-type diuretics.
Contraindications and cautions:
• allergy to any ingredient in Coreg;
• very slow heartbeat, certain types of irregular heartbeat (eg, moderate to severe heart block, sick sinus syndrome), or very severe heart failure (eg, requires treatment in a hospital);
• asthma or other severe breathing problems;
• severe liver problems;
• taking mibefradil.

Serious side effects: severe allergic reactions (rash; hives; itching; difficulty breathing; tightness in the chest; swelling of the mouth, face, lips, or tongue); chest pain; disorientation; irregular or unusually slow heartbeat; swelling of the hands, ankles, or feet;persistent or severe vision changes; severe dizziness; shortness of breath; fainting; fever; sudden, unusual weight gain; change in the amount of urine produced; unusual bruising or bleeding.
Less serious side effects: diarrhea; dizziness; fatigue; vomiting; headache; dry eyes; lightheadedness; nausea; numbness or tingling of the hands or feet; weakness.
Interactions:
• the risk of serious heart side effects may be increased by mibefradil;
• Many prescription and nonprescription medicines (eg, used for infections, inflammation, aches and pains, high blood pressure, heart problems, irregular heartbeat, diabetes, depression, mental or mood problems, immune system suppression, allergic reactions, asthma, high cholesterol, seizures), multivitamin products, and herbal or dietary supplements (eg, herbal teas, coenzyme Q10, garlic, ginseng, ginkgo, St. Johnis wort) may interact with Coreg , increasing the risk of side effects.
