How to use Dilatrend tablet 12.5mg?
- Taking Dilatrend tablet 12.5mg with food lowers the chance of dizziness from a sudden drop in blood pressure.
- A gradual dose increase, guided by a cardiologist, helps the body adjust safely, especially in heart failure patients.

- Regular blood pressure and pulse checks help confirm the dose is working as intended.
Drug Interactions
- Insulin and antidiabetic medicines: Carvedilol can hide the early symptoms of low blood sugar, making glucose monitoring more important.
- Calcium channel blockers: Combining with verapamil or diltiazem raises the risk of a very slow heart rate.
- Clonidine: Stopping clonidine while still taking carvedilol can cause a dangerous spike in blood pressure.
- Digoxin: This combination can raise digoxin levels in the blood, increasing the risk of side effects.
- Rifampicin: This antibiotic can reduce how well carvedilol works in the body.
Risks and warnings
- Low heart rate: Carvedilol can slow the heart down too much in some patients, so any unusual fatigue or fainting needs prompt medical review.
- Breathing conditions: Patients with asthma or COPD, both common across Pakistan due to air pollution and winter smog, should use this medicine only under close supervision.
- Diabetes management: This medicine can mask the usual warning signs of low blood sugar, so diabetic patients need closer glucose monitoring.
