Cardilol 6.25 Mg 30 Tablets

Cardilol 6.25 Mg 30 Tablets

Description:

Cardilol 6.25 mg 30 tablets is a prescription cardiovascular medicine containing carvedilol, a non-selective beta blocker with additional alpha-1 blocking activity. It is used for the long-term management of high blood pressure, stable angina pectoris, and congestive heart failure. By blocking beta-1, beta-2, and alpha-1 adrenergic receptors, Cardilol helps reduce heart rate, decrease peripheral vascular resistance, and lower blood pressure, thereby improving heart function and reducing the risk of cardiovascular complications. This product is intended for adult patients under the supervision of a healthcare professional.

Indications:

• Treatment of essential hypertension (high blood pressure) in adults, as monotherapy or in combination with other antihypertensive agents.
• Management of stable angina pectoris (chest pain due to coronary artery disease) to reduce frequency and severity of anginal attacks.
• Treatment of congestive heart failure (mild to severe) as part of standard heart failure therapy to improve ventricular function and reduce morbidity and mortality.
• Helps lower blood pressure to reduce the risk of stroke, heart attack, and other cardiovascular events associated with hypertension.

Active Ingredients / Key Components:

• Carvedilol – 6.25 mg per tablet.
• Excipients: Information on inactive ingredients (such as fillers, binders, coloring agents) is not available in the provided data. Please refer to the package leaflet for the full list of excipients.

Dosage & Administration / How to Use:

• Use Cardilol 6.25 mg exactly as prescribed by your physician. Do not adjust the dose or stop treatment without medical advice.
• Hypertension (typical adult dosing – for guidance only, always follow your doctor’s instructions): therapy is usually started at a low dose once or twice daily and may be gradually increased based on blood pressure response and tolerability. The 6.25 mg strength is commonly used as a starting dose or during dose titration.
• Heart failure: treatment is initiated with a very low dose and slowly titrated upward at intervals as directed by the cardiologist, with close monitoring of blood pressure, heart rate, and symptoms.
• Stable angina: dose and frequency are determined by the physician according to clinical response and patient condition.
• Administration: Swallow the tablet whole with a sufficient amount of water. Do not crush or chew unless your doctor or pharmacist advises otherwise.
• Take preferably with food to reduce the risk of orthostatic hypotension (sudden drop in blood pressure when standing up).
• 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 dose.
• Duration of use: Cardilol is usually used as a long-term therapy. Do not discontinue abruptly; dose should be tapered gradually under medical supervision to avoid rebound hypertension or worsening angina/heart failure.

Clinical Benefits:

• Helps effectively lower elevated blood pressure, contributing to long-term protection of the heart, brain, and blood vessels.
• Reduces heart rate and myocardial oxygen demand, helping to prevent or decrease the frequency and intensity of angina attacks.
• Improves left ventricular function and overall cardiac performance in patients with congestive heart failure, reducing symptoms such as fatigue, shortness of breath, and edema.
• Combines beta-blocking and alpha-1 blocking effects to decrease peripheral vascular resistance and promote vasodilation without causing reflex tachycardia.
• May contribute to reduced morbidity and mortality in chronic heart failure when used as part of standard therapy as directed by a cardiologist.

Warnings & Contraindications:

• Contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to carvedilol or any of the excipients.
• Contraindicated in severe bradycardia, second- or third-degree atrioventricular (AV) block, sick sinus syndrome (unless a permanent pacemaker is in place), cardiogenic shock, decompensated heart failure requiring intravenous inotropic therapy, and severe hypotension.
• Use with caution in patients with diabetes, as carvedilol may mask symptoms of hypoglycemia (such as rapid heartbeat) and may affect blood glucose control.
• Use with caution in patients with peripheral vascular disease, Raynaud’s phenomenon, or a history of severe allergic reactions.
• Use with caution in patients with bronchospastic diseases (such as asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease); non-selective beta blockers can worsen bronchospasm.
• Consult your doctor before use if you have liver impairment, kidney disease, thyroid disorders, or are on other cardiovascular medications (e.g., calcium channel blockers, digoxin, antiarrhythmics).
• Consult your doctor before use if pregnant or planning pregnancy. Carvedilol should be used during pregnancy only if clearly needed and under strict medical supervision.
• Breastfeeding: It is not known with certainty how much carvedilol passes into breast milk. Consult your physician before using Cardilol while breastfeeding.
• May cause dizziness, fatigue, or blurred vision, especially at the start of treatment or during dose increases. Avoid driving or operating machinery until you know how the medicine affects you.
• Avoid sudden discontinuation of therapy, particularly in patients with ischemic heart disease, as this may lead to exacerbation of angina, myocardial infarction, or arrhythmias.
• Inform your doctor about all medications you are taking, including other antihypertensives, antiarrhythmics, insulin or oral antidiabetics, CNS depressants, and any over-the-counter or herbal products, to avoid potentially harmful interactions.
• 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), cold extremities, and gastrointestinal symptoms such as nausea, diarrhea, or abdominal discomfort.
• Some patients may experience sleep disturbances, depression, or mild weight gain.
• In patients with heart failure, there may be temporary worsening of symptoms at the start of therapy or during dose increases; this should be promptly reported to the treating physician.
• Less common but serious side effects can include severe bradycardia, significant hypotension, bronchospasm (especially in asthmatics), worsening heart failure, conduction disturbances, or allergic reactions (rash, itching, swelling, difficulty breathing).
• Seek immediate medical attention if you experience severe dizziness or fainting, chest pain, shortness of breath, swelling of the face or tongue, difficulty breathing, or any signs of a severe allergic reaction.
