Uses
CARCA 25mg Tablets are used in the treatment of hypertension, congestive heart failure, and chest pain caused by reduced blood flow to the heart. They are also prescribed to improve heart function in patients who have experienced a heart attack and developed left ventricular dysfunction. By blocking both beta and alpha receptors, carvedilol relaxes blood vessels, lowers vascular resistance, and reduces strain on the heart, thereby improving circulation and overall cardiac efficiency.
Dosage and Administration
The tablets should be taken orally, swallowed whole with water. Dosage depends on the patient’s condition and response to treatment, and must always be adjusted under medical supervision. It is usually taken twice daily with food to reduce the risk of dizziness or low blood pressure.

CARCA should be used cautiously in patients with asthma, COPD, diabetes, liver impairment, or peripheral vascular disease. Pregnant and breastfeeding women should only use it if clearly indicated by a physician. It is contraindicated in patients with severe bradycardia, heart block, cardiogenic shock, or hypersensitivity to carvedilol.
