Cardistep CR 20 Tablet contains Carvedilol Controlled Release (20 mg), a beta-blocker used primarily for the management of hypertension (high blood pressure), chronic heart failure, and angina (chest pain). It works by blocking beta-adrenergic and alpha-adrenergic receptors, leading to reduced heart rate, improved blood flow, and lower blood pressure. This helps decrease the heart’s workload and prevents complications like strokes, heart attacks, and kidney damage.
How It Works:
Carvedilol is a non-selective beta-blocker that also exhibits alpha-blocking properties. This dual action causes vasodilation (widening of blood vessels), which reduces blood pressure and improves oxygen delivery to the heart. The controlled-release formulation ensures a steady release of the medication over time, leading to longer-lasting effects and fewer fluctuations in drug levels.
For patients with chronic heart failure, Cardistep CR 20 helps enhance heart function, reduce symptoms like swelling and breathlessness, and improve overall quality of life. It is also effective in angina by ensuring better oxygen supply to the heart muscle, reducing chest pain and preventing future cardiac complications.
