CARVIL OD 40 MG TABLET operates by exerting a dual effect on the cardiovascular system. It relaxes blood vessels, allowing for improved blood flow, while simultaneously slowing the heart rate. This combination of actions contributes to a reduction in blood pressure. By easing the workload on the heart and enhancing blood circulation, Carvedilol helps manage hypertension and enhance overall cardiovascular function. It is crucial to adhere to prescribed dosages and consult healthcare professionals for personalized guidance, ensuring safe and effective management of blood pressure and related conditions. Regular medical check-ups contribute to optimal cardiovascular health.
Hypertension is a chronic condition where the force of blood against artery walls is too high. This can lead to hardened arteries, reducing blood and oxygen flow to the heart, causing chest pain, heart attacks, brain damage (stroke), and kidney failure.
Carvil OD should be avoided if the patient has severe heart failure and is hospitalized in the intensive care unit or require certain intravenous medications that help support circulation (inotropic medications). In addition to that, Carvil OD should be avoided in patients who are prone to asthma or other breathing problems, have a slow heartbeat or irregular heartbeat (heart that skips a beat), have liver problems, and are allergic to Carvil OD.
Carvil OD needs to be taken regularly as directed by your doctor. Suddenly stopping it may cause chest pain or heart attack. Your doctor may slowly lower your dose over a period of time before stopping it completely, if required.
Yes, weight gain is a common side effect of Carvil OD, but it does not occur in everyone. If you are taking Carvil OD for heart failure, tell your doctor if you gain weight or have trouble breathing, as this may be a sign of fluid retention.
Use of Carvil OD in patients with heart failure can rarely lead to deterioration of kidney function. However, Carvil OD may cause risk of kidney failure in patients with low blood pressure (systolic blood pressure less than 100 mm Hg), patients with hardening of the arteries and/or having heart disease or already having impaired kidney function. Such patients should be closely monitored during treatment with Carvil OD. Although, kidney functions return to baseline when Carvil OD is stopped.
Yes, a diabetic patient can take Carvil OD, provided that there is a regular check on blood glucose levels. It has been noted that in well controlled diabetes mellitus with mild to moderate hypertension, Carvil OD did not have any effect on blood glucose levels. However, it is important to know that, using Carvil OD class of medicines (beta blockers) may hide the symptoms of hypoglycemia (decrease in glucose levels), especially increase in heart beat or palpitations. In addition to that, Carvil OD may cause worsening of hyperglycaemia (increase in blood glucose levels) in patients with heart failure and diabetes. Hence, it is recommended that blood glucose should be monitored while initiating, adjusting, or discontinuing the dose of Carvil OD. Inform the doctor if there is any change in blood glucose levels during Carvil OD therapy.
If you take more than the recommended dose of Carvil OD you may experience slow heartbeat, dizziness, fainting, difficulty breathing, vomiting, and loss of consciousness or seizures. Contact your doctor and seek immediate medical help in a nearby hospital.
Yes, Carvil OD may make you tired as well as dizzy. These may occur initially when you start the treatment or when the dose is increased. If you experience these symptoms you should not drive or operate machinery.
It is recommended that you take Carvil OD with food, as food decreases the rate at which the medicine gets absorbed by the body. This will help to reduce the chances of orthostatic hypotension (low blood pressure which may cause dizziness or fainting when you stand up).
Carvil OD may cause serious side effects such as fainting, shortness of breath, weight gain, swelling of the arms, hands, feet, ankles, or lower legs. Some may also experience chest pain, slow or irregular heartbeat, rash, hives, itching, and difficulty in breathing and swallowing. If you experience any of these symptoms call your doctor immediately.
