Frequently asked questions
The standard dosage for carvedilol ranges from 3.125 milligrams (mg) to 25 mg twice daily. Your healthcare provider may increase your dosage over time depending on what part of your heart health they want to target.
Stopping carvedilol suddenly during treatment can lead to a risk of hypotension (low blood pressure). Otherwise, carvedilol is generally safe for most people. Be sure to let your healthcare provider know if you are taking other medications or experiencing any side effects.
Be sure to ask your healthcare provider about alcohol intake while taking carvedilol. Drinking alcohol while on carvedilol can worsen side effects.
It may be unsafe to take carvedilol while also taking antidepressants. Taking carvedilol with antidepressants may increase the risk of hypotension and bradycardia (the heart rate is slower than usual). Be sure to let your healthcare provider know if you are taking other medications before starting carvedilol.
The most common side effects of Carvedilol include:
- Fatigue
- Dizziness
- Headache
- Diarrhea
- Nausea
- Vomiting
- Sleep problems
- Dry eyes
It’s important to know not everyone will experience the same side effects. Seek immediate medical attention if you experience any serious side effects like fainting, swelling, shortness of breath, and weight gain.
Although carvedilol can prevent high blood pressure, speak with your healthcare provider about taking Coreg during pregnancy. More research is still needed on its possible effects on pregnancy.
