What Is Carvedilol 3.125mg?

Carvedilol is a prescription medication in the beta-blocker class, sold under the brand name Coreg. It blocks both beta and alpha-1 adrenergic receptors, which slows the heart rate, relaxes blood vessels, and lowers blood pressure. Doctors prescribe carvedilol to treat mild to severe chronic heart failure, hypertension, and to improve survival in patients with reduced heart function after a heart attack. The 3.125mg tablet is the typical starting strength for heart failure, with doses gradually increased under medical supervision.
