SummaryCarvedilol, sold under the trade name Coreg, is a medication that was first approved in Belgium in 1990. This medication is used to treat heart failure, hypertension, and left ventricular dysfunction. Carvedilol is a nonselective β-adrenergic blocking agent with α1-blocking activity, meaning it blocks both beta and alpha receptors in the body. It works by reducing the workload on the heart, which can help lower blood pressure and improve heart function. The chemical structure of Carvedilol is (±)-1 (Carbazol-4-yloxy)-3-[[2-(o-methoxyphenoxy)ethyl]amino]-2-propanol. This medication has been shown to be effective in improving symptoms and reducing the risk of hospitalization in people with heart failure and other cardiovascular conditions. |
