Cardistep 12.5 Tablet contains Carvedilol (12.5 mg), a beta-blocker with alpha-blocking properties, primarily used for the management of hypertension (high blood pressure), heart failure, and other cardiovascular conditions. By blocking beta and alpha receptors, it reduces the workload on the heart, improves blood circulation, and helps control blood pressure.
Carvedilol works by relaxing blood vessels, slowing heart rate, and improving heart function. This action makes it particularly beneficial for patients with heart failure, post-heart attack management, and high blood pressure. It also helps prevent complications such as stroke, heart attack, and kidney damage associated with uncontrolled hypertension.
Cardistep 12.5 Tablet is generally taken once or twice daily, as prescribed by a healthcare provider. It is essential to follow a consistent schedule for maximum effectiveness. Patients should not suddenly stop taking this medication, as it may lead to worsening heart conditions, a sudden spike in blood pressure, or irregular heartbeats.
Individuals with severe liver disease, asthma, or certain heart conditions should consult their doctor before starting this medication. Pregnant and breastfeeding women should use this medicine only under strict medical guidance. Regular monitoring of blood pressure, heart rate, and kidney function is recommended during treatment.
To enhance the benefits of Cardistep 12.5, patients are advised to maintain a healthy diet, exercise regularly, and reduce salt intake. Alcohol consumption should be avoided as it can increase dizziness and other side effects.
