Cardilol 25 Mg 30 Tablets

Cardilol 25 Mg 30 Tablets

Description:

Cardilol 25 mg is a prescription antihypertensive medicine containing carvedilol, a non-selective beta-blocker with additional alpha-1 adrenergic blocking activity. It is used to lower high blood pressure, improve heart function in congestive heart failure, and reduce chest pain in stable angina pectoris. By blocking alpha-1, beta-1, and beta-2 receptors, Cardilol 25 mg tablets help reduce heart rate, decrease peripheral vascular resistance, and lower blood pressure, thereby supporting long-term cardiovascular protection and reducing the risk of heart-related complications. This product is intended for adult use under medical supervision.

Indications:

• Management of essential hypertension (high blood pressure) in adults, as monotherapy or in combination with other antihypertensive agents.
• Treatment of symptomatic congestive heart failure (CHF), usually as part of a comprehensive heart failure regimen including diuretics, ACE inhibitors, and/or digitalis, as directed by a cardiologist.
• Management of stable angina pectoris (chest pain due to coronary artery disease) to reduce frequency and severity of anginal attacks and improve exercise tolerance.
• Helps reduce cardiovascular workload by lowering heart rate and blood pressure.

Active Ingredients / Key Components:

• Carvedilol – 25 mg per tablet.
• Excipients: Information about inactive ingredients (excipients, coloring agents, preservatives) is not available in the provided data. Please refer to the official package insert for the full list of excipients.

Dosage & Administration / How to Use:

• Use Cardilol 25 mg tablets exactly as prescribed by your physician. Do not change your dose or stop the medicine without medical advice.
• Hypertension: The usual starting dose of carvedilol is lower than 25 mg and is gradually increased. Cardilol 25 mg is typically used as a maintenance dose once or twice daily, depending on your doctor’s instructions. Exact dosing regimen must be determined by the prescribing physician.
• Congestive heart failure: Treatment is usually initiated at a low dose and titrated upwards at intervals based on tolerance and clinical response. Cardilol 25 mg may be used as a higher maintenance dose in selected patients under close medical supervision.
• Stable angina pectoris: Dose and frequency are individualized by the physician, often given once or twice daily.
• Administration: Swallow the tablet whole with a sufficient amount of water. Do not crush or chew unless your doctor or pharmacist advises otherwise.
• Take with food to reduce the risk of orthostatic hypotension (sudden drop in blood pressure when standing).
• If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember unless it is almost time for the next dose. Do not double the dose to make up for a missed one.
• Do not stop taking Cardilol abruptly, especially if you have heart disease. The dose should be tapered gradually under medical supervision to avoid rebound hypertension, angina, or worsening heart failure.

Clinical Benefits:

• Helps lower high blood pressure, reducing the risk of stroke, heart attack, and other cardiovascular complications.
• Improves ventricular function and overall heart performance in patients with congestive heart failure, reducing morbidity and mortality when used as part of standard therapy.
• Reduces heart rate and myocardial oxygen demand, helping to control and prevent episodes of chest pain in stable angina pectoris.
• Provides vasodilation through alpha-1 blockade, decreasing peripheral vascular resistance without causing reflex tachycardia.
• Exhibits additional pharmacological actions such as calcium entry blockade, antioxidant, antiproliferative, and membrane-stabilizing effects, which may offer further cardiovascular protection.
• Does not adversely affect lipid profile, making it suitable for long-term cardiovascular risk management in appropriate patients.

Warnings & Contraindications:

• Cardilol (carvedilol) is a prescription-only medicine and must be used under the supervision of a qualified healthcare professional.
• Contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to carvedilol or any of the tablet components.
• Contraindicated in severe bradycardia, second- or third-degree atrioventricular (AV) block (unless a pacemaker is in place), sick sinus syndrome, cardiogenic shock, decompensated heart failure requiring intravenous inotropic therapy, and severe hypotension.
• Contraindicated in severe hepatic impairment.
• Use with caution in patients with diabetes, as carvedilol may mask symptoms of hypoglycemia (such as rapid heartbeat) and affect blood glucose control.
• Use with caution in patients with peripheral vascular disease or Raynaud’s phenomenon, as beta-blockers may worsen symptoms.
• Use with caution in patients with a history of bronchospasm, asthma, or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), as non-selective beta-blockade may precipitate bronchospasm.
• May interact with other antihypertensives, antiarrhythmics, calcium channel blockers (e.g., verapamil, diltiazem), digoxin, insulin, oral antidiabetics, and other cardiovascular drugs. Inform your doctor about all medications and supplements you are taking.
• May cause dizziness, fatigue, or lightheadedness, especially at treatment initiation or dose increase. Avoid driving or operating machinery until you know how the medicine affects you.
• Consult your doctor before use if pregnant or planning pregnancy. Carvedilol should be used during pregnancy only if clearly needed and prescribed by a physician.
• Consult your doctor before use if breastfeeding, as it is not known with certainty how much carvedilol passes into breast milk; your doctor will weigh the potential risks and benefits.
• Consult your doctor before use if you have liver disease, kidney disease, thyroid disorders, severe circulation problems, or a history of severe allergic reactions.
• Not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease without proper medical supervision.
• Keep out of reach of children.

Side Effects:

• Common side effects may include dizziness, fatigue, headache, weakness, low blood pressure (hypotension), slow heart rate (bradycardia), and gastrointestinal disturbances such as nausea, diarrhea, or abdominal discomfort.
• Some patients may experience weight gain, edema (swelling of legs or ankles), or shortness of breath, especially at the beginning of heart failure treatment or during dose adjustments.
• Less common side effects can include sleep disturbances, depression, cold extremities, or worsening of peripheral vascular symptoms.
• Serious side effects (seek immediate medical attention): severe dizziness or fainting, very slow or irregular heartbeat, sudden worsening of shortness of breath or swelling, chest pain, severe allergic reactions (rash, itching, swelling of face/tongue/throat, difficulty breathing), or signs of liver problems (yellowing of skin or eyes, dark urine, severe abdominal pain).
• If you notice any unusual or persistent symptoms, contact your doctor or pharmacist promptly.
