What is Carvedilol?

Carvedilol is a non-selective beta-blocker with additional alpha-1 blocking activity, used to treat high blood pressure, heart failure with reduced ejection fraction, and left ventricular dysfunction following a heart attack. Its dual mechanism—blocking both beta and alpha-1 adrenergic receptors—means it reduces heart rate and cardiac workload while also causing vasodilation, providing more comprehensive cardiovascular effects than beta-1 selective blockers alone. Carvedilol is one of only a few medications proven to reduce mortality in heart failure, making it a cornerstone of heart failure therapy. It's taken twice daily with food.

Non-selective beta and alpha-1 blockade

Blocks beta-1 and beta-2 adrenergic receptors to slow heart rate and reduce contractility, while simultaneously blocking alpha-1 receptors to cause vasodilation—lowering both cardiac output and peripheral vascular resistance for comprehensive blood pressure and cardiac load reduction.

Proven heart failure mortality reduction

One of three beta-blockers with robust clinical trial evidence showing reduced mortality in heart failure with reduced ejection fraction—making Carvedilol a guideline-directed, evidence-based cornerstone of heart failure management.

Post-MI cardiac protection

Reduces the risk of cardiovascular death and cardiac remodeling after myocardial infarction by blocking the harmful neurohormonal activation that drives progressive ventricular dysfunction in the weeks and months following a heart attack.
