Benefits of CARDIVAS 6.25MG TABLET
Helps Lower Blood Pressure:
By relaxing blood vessels and reducing the heart’s workload, Cardivas 6.25 helps lower blood pressure, reducing the strain on the heart and decreasing the risk of complications like strokes and kidney damage.
Improves Heart Function:
Cardivas is commonly prescribed for heart failure as it helps improve the heart’s ability to pump blood more efficiently, reducing symptoms like shortness of breath, fatigue, and fluid retention.
Reduces the Risk of Heart Attack:
By controlling blood pressure and heart rate, Cardivas 6.25 can help reduce the likelihood of having a heart attack, particularly in individuals with a history of heart disease.
Helps Manage Angina (Chest Pain):
Cardivas can also help manage angina, or chest pain, by reducing the heart’s oxygen demand, thereby decreasing the frequency and severity of chest pain episodes.
Reduces the Risk of Heart Enlargement:
In patients with heart failure, Cardivas helps prevent the heart from enlarging and deteriorating further, improving the overall prognosis for patients with left ventricular dysfunction.
How CARDIVAS 6.25MG TABLET Works
Cardivas 6.25 Tablet contains a medicine called Carvedilol which is a beta-blocker that works by blocking both beta and alpha receptors on blood vessels and the heart.
For hypertension, carvedilol blocks beta-1 receptors in the heart, which slows the heart rate and reduces the force of heart contractions, lowering blood pressure. It also blocks alpha-1 receptors on blood vessels, causing them to relax and widen, which further reduces blood pressure.
For angina (chest pain), carvedilol decreases the workload on the heart by reducing the heart rate and lowering blood pressure, which helps improve oxygen supply to the heart muscle and relieves chest pain.
In heart failure, carvedilol’s effects on both beta and alpha receptors reduce strain on the heart, improve heart function over time, and help prevent worsening of symptoms by protecting the heart muscle from stress and damage.
