| Coreg Description |
|---|
brand name: Coreg
generic name: Carvedilol
Why is Coreg prescribed? Coreg lowers blood pressure and increases the output of the heart. It is prescribed for people with congestive heart failure to increase survival and reduce the need for hospitalization. Coreg may be prescribed if you have survived a heart attack and now suffer from left ventricular dysfunction, a condition where the left side of the heart no longer pumps properly. It is also used to control high blood pressure. It is often used with other drugs.
What should I watch for while taking Carvedilol (Coreg)?
Check your heart rate and blood pressure regularly while you are taking Carvedilol. Ask your prescriber or health care professional what your heart rate and blood pressure should be, and when you should contact him or her.
Contact your prescriber or health care professional if you have difficulty breathing while taking this drug.
Check your weight daily. Ask your prescriber or health care professional when you should notify him/her of any weight gain.
Do not stop taking this medicine suddenly. This could lead to serious heart-related effects.
You may get drowsy or dizzy. Do not drive, use machinery, or do anything that requires mental alertness until you know how Carvedilol (Coreg) affects you. Avoid driving or using machinery especially during initial dosing or after a dose increase of your medication. To reduce the risk of dizzy or fainting spells, do not sit or stand up quickly. Alcohol can make you more drowsy, and increase flushing and rapid heartbeats. Therefore, it is best to avoid alcoholic drinks.
Carvedilol may affect blood sugar levels. If you have diabetes, check with your prescriber or health care professional before you change your diet or the dose of your diabetic medicine.
If you are going to have surgery, tell your prescriber or health care professional that you are taking Carvedilol (Coreg).
