- What is Carvedilol ( Coreg )?
- Carvedilol is a nonselective beta blocker, with concurrent alpha 1 blocking actions
- Carvedilol reversibly binds to beta adrenergic receptors on cardiac myocytes. Inhibition of these receptors prevents a response to the sympathetic nervous system, leading to decreased heart rate and contractility. This action is beneficial in heart failure patients where the sympathetic nervous system is activated as a compensatory mechanism.
- Carvedilol blockade of alpha-1 receptors causes vasodilation of blood vessels. This inhibition leads to decreased peripheral vascular resistance and an antihypertensive effect. There is no reflex tachycardia response due to carvedilol blockade of beta-1 receptors on the heart
- It is available as 3.125, 6.25, 12.5, and 25 mg tablets, and also available as 10, 20, 40 and 80 mg extended release capsules.
