Carvedilol is the generic name of a beta blocker medication better known by the brand name Coreg. The medication slows the rate at which the heart beats and relaxes blood vessels, effectively reducing the heart's workload and lowering blood pressure.

While carvedilol may be used to treat a variety of cardiovascular issues, it is predominantly used to manage hypertension and congestive heart failure. It also sees some application in angina and stabilizing irregular heartbeat. Less commonly patients buy carvedilol to manage physical symptoms of anxiety, such as rapid heartbeat, excessive sweating, trembling voice and so forth.

Beta blockers also see some use in reducing the frequency and severity of migraine headaches. Patients planning to buy carvedilol for this purpose may want to consider propranolol or metoprolol instead; these beta blockers typically produce better results in migraine treatment.

Getting the Most from Carvedilol

Carvedilol is commonly used both on its own and with other medications, such as a diuretic, to further manage blood pressure. Uncontrolled high blood pressure can have a tremendously negative impact on quality and duration of life, putting patients at increased risk of kidney damage, stroke, and heart attack, among other complications. Changes in diet, exercise, and other lifestyle factors are strongly encouraged to address the underlying cause of the high blood pressure.

The manner in which treatment with carvedilol begins and ends is important; treatment should start at lower doses which are gradually increased to an effective maintenance dose, which then may be maintained for as long as needed---often years. When treatment ends, dosage should be gradually reduced. Starting or stopping treatment abruptly can produce very serious complications.

Standard treatment is as follows:

• Start with 12.5 mg per day, taken in two 6.25 mg doses in morning and evening.
• After two weeks blood pressure should be evaluated. If the starting dose is insufficient, increase dosage to 25 mg per day, taken in two 12.5 mg doses.
• After two weeks dosage may again be increased if needed, to 50 mg per day in two 25 mg doses. 50 mg per should not be exceeded.
• Continue treatment for as long as it continues to provide benefit.

It takes about two weeks for effects to be fully felt, which is why there is a two-week wait between dosage adjustments. Regular doctor visits will be necessary at first to establish the most effective dose; patients just starting treatment may want to buy carvedilol in smaller pack sizes until the long-term maintenance dose is determined.

Tablets should be taken at the same times each day to maximize presence of the medication in the body. They may be taken with or without food as desired, and may be crushed and mixed with food for those who have difficulty swallowing whole tablets.
