What Experts Say
Cardiologists usually start Carvedilol at a low dose such as 6.25mg twice daily, especially in heart failure patients, because the body needs time to adjust to its effect on blood pressure and heart rate. Doses are typically increased gradually under close medical supervision over several weeks of treatment.
Doctors commonly advise taking Vedicar with food to reduce the chance of low blood pressure or dizziness right after a dose. Patients are also told not to stop the tablet suddenly, since abruptly stopping a beta blocker can trigger chest pain or a sharp, dangerous rise in blood pressure.
Health experts caution people with asthma, very slow heart rate, or certain liver conditions to discuss the risks with their doctor before starting this medicine. Regular monitoring of blood pressure, heart rate, and sometimes liver function tests is generally recommended throughout ongoing treatment sessions.
