How does carvedilol work?
Carvedilol relaxes blood vessels and slows the heart rate, which reduces the workload on the heart and lowers blood pressure. For someone with heart failure, that means the weakened heart pumps more efficiently against less resistance. Treatment typically begins at the lowest strength (3.125 mg) and is adjusted upward to let the body adapt. Coreg is the original brand of carvedilol, listed in the Heart & Blood Pressure category.
