Carvedilol - Overview

Carvedilol, marketed under the name Coreg, is a medication used in managing congestive heart failure (CHF) and high blood pressure.

What Is Carvedilol Used For?

Carvedilol is a beta-adrenergic blocking medication with alpha-1-blocking activity that is used in the management of stable CHF and hypertension. Carvedilol differs from medications like atenolol (Tenormin), bisoprolol (Zebeta), metoprolol (Lopressor, Toprol) and nebivolol (Bystolic) in that carvedilol is nonselective as opposed to being a selective beta blocker - more similar to propranolol (Inderal). Carvedilol prescription medication exerts its dual alpha and beta-blocking effects through the presence of chemical enantiomers without intrinsic sympathomimetic activity and seems to have beneficial effects on heart function. Generally, the starting dose of carvedilol medication is 3.125 mg and titrated up, depending on the judgment of the prescribing medical provider.
