Uses
CARDIVAS 6.25mg 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. This strength is often used as a starting dose or during dose titration, allowing patients to gradually adjust to therapy. 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. Therapy is often initiated at lower doses such as 6.25mg twice daily, with gradual increases as tolerated. Taking the medication with food helps reduce the risk of dizziness or low blood pressure.

Special Populations and Precautions
CARDIVAS 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.

Side Effects
