Description
Sources: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23506034 | https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/9211087 | https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/drugsatfda_docs/label/2009/020297s029lbl.pdf

Carvedilol competitively blocks β1, β2 and α1 receptors. The drug lacks sympathomimetic activity and has vasodilating properties that are exerted primarily through α1-blockade. Animal models indicate that carvedilol confers protection against myocardial necrosis, arrhythmia and cell damage caused by oxidising free radicals, and the drug has no adverse effects on plasma lipid profiles. COREG® (carvedilol) is a racemic mixture in which nonselective β-adrenoreceptor blocking activity is present in the S(-) enantiomer and α1-adrenergic blocking activity is present in both R(+) and S(-) enantiomers at equal potency. Carvedilol is the first drug of its kind to be approved for the treatment of congestive heart failure, and is now the standard of care for this devastating disease. Carvedilol is also confirmed as effective in the management of mild to moderate hypertension and ischaemic heart disease.

Sample Use Guides

In Vivo Use Guide

Take with food. Individualize dosage and monitor during up-titration.• Heart failure: Start at 3.125 mg twice daily and increase to 6.25, 12.5, and then 25 mg twice daily over intervals of at least 2 weeks. Maintain lower doses if higher doses are not tolerated.• Left ventricular dysfunction following myocardial infarction: Start at 6.25 mg twice daily and increase to 12.5 mg then 25 mg twice daily afterintervals of 3 to 10 days. A lower starting dose or slower titration may be used.• Hypertension: Start at 6.25 mg twice daily and increase if needed for blood pressure control to 12.5 mg then 25 mg twice daily over intervals of 1 to 2 weeks.

Route of Administration: Oral

In Vitro Use Guide

Compared with the PDGF-stimulated control, DNA synthesis decreased significantly to 60.3% +/- 10.4% and 18.3% +/- 5.9% in the presence of 1 and 10 microM of carvedilol, respectively (P < 0.05, each). Carvedilol significantly inhibited the activity of VSMCs stimulated by ET-1 and ANG-II. The IC50 of carvedilol was 1-10 microM. CsA only inhibited VSMCs significantly in the PDGF-stimulated subgroup. The addition of CsA in the presence of carvedilol did not affect the inhibitory activity of carvedilol. The pattern of inhibition in the combined group was uniform and similar to that of the carvedilol alone group, regardless of the stimulator used.
