CARDIVAS 3.125MG TABS

Description

Cardivas 3.125mg Tablet is a low-dose prescription medicine containing Carvedilol (3.125mg). Carvedilol is a non-selective beta-blocker with alpha-1 blocking properties, which makes it especially effective in treating heart-related conditions by relaxing blood vessels and slowing the heart rate.

This 3.125mg strength is often used as a starting dose in:

• Chronic heart failure (especially for dose titration)

• Mild to moderate hypertension

• Stable angina (chest pain)

• Post-myocardial infarction treatment to reduce risk of cardiac events

Starting with a low dose like Cardivas 3.125mg allows patients to gradually adapt to the medication and minimizes side effects, especially dizziness or low blood pressure.

Key Benefits:

• Safe initiation dose for heart failure treatment

• Improves cardiac output and reduces symptoms

• Helps prevent further heart complications

• Offers dual blood pressure and heart rate control

Dosage & Administration:
Typically taken twice daily with food to reduce orthostatic hypotension (a sudden drop in blood pressure when standing). Always follow your doctor’s dosing schedule, especially during titration.

Common Side Effects:
Fatigue, dizziness, bradycardia (slow heart rate), low blood pressure, and cold extremities. Report any breathing difficulty, swelling, or rapid weight gain to your healthcare provider.

Precautions:

• Caution in patients with asthma, diabetes, liver dysfunction, or peripheral vascular disease

• Avoid abrupt discontinuation—must be tapered gradually

• Not recommended in pregnancy unless clearly indicated
