Trade Name:

Dilatrol

Composition

Each tablet contains:

Carvedilol 25 mg.

Properties

Carvedilol is a cardioprotective non-cardioselective drug that blocks the beta-adrenergic receptor (beta-blocker), which has an arteriolar vasodilating effect by blocking the alpha-1 receptor and thus reduces peripheral resistance.

Indications

Hypertension, angina pectoris, chronic heart failure, left ventricular dysfunction after acute myocardial infarction.

Dosage and administration
