Description
Carvedilol is a prescription medication that falls into the category of beta-blockers, used to treat high blood pressure or hypertension. The medication effectively reduces blood pressure by limiting the body’s reaction to adrenaline and other stress hormones that constrict blood vessels, ultimately leading to high blood pressure. Not only does carvedilol reduce blood pressure, but it also lessens the workload of the heart by slowing the heart rate, thereby reducing the energy required to pump blood throughout the body. This reduction in blood pressure lessens the risk of heart attacks and strokes.
