Cardivas, Carvedilol

Cardivas is used in the treatment of hypertension, heart failure and angina.

Cardivas is known as a beta-blocker. Cardivas works on the heart and blood vessels. Cardivas does this by blocking beta-adrenergic receptors where messages sent by some nerves are received by the heart and blood vessels. As a result,the heart beats more slowly and with less force. The pressure of blood within blood vessels is reduced and it is easier for the heart to pump blood around the body.
