How CARVENOL 25 TABLET Works

CARVENOL 25 TABLET contains a medicine called Carvedilol which is a beta-blocker
that works by blocking both beta and alpha receptors on blood vessels and the
heart.

For hypertension, carvedilol blocks beta-1 receptors in the heart, which
slows the heart rate and reduces the force of heart contractions, lowering blood
pressure. It also blocks alpha-1 receptors on blood vessels, causing them to
relax and widen, which further reduces blood pressure.

For angina (chest pain), carvedilol decreases the workload on the heart by
reducing the heart rate and lowering blood pressure, which helps improve oxygen
supply to the heart muscle and relieves chest pain.

In heart failure, carvedilol’s effects on both beta and alpha receptors
reduce strain on the heart, improve heart function over time, and help prevent
worsening of symptoms by protecting the heart muscle from stress and damage.
