Coreg Information

medically reviewed by Dr. HaVy Ngo, Pharmacist on May 27, 2025.

Coreg and Carvedilol at CanadaPharmacyOnline

Coreg (carvedilol) is primarily manufactured and marketed by GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) for most markets. However, it has also been manufactured in Turkey by companies like Roche, under the brand name Dilatrend.

Generic carvedilol is sourced from manufacturers that meet applicable regulatory standards for safety, efficacy, and quality. The specific manufacturer of your dispensed medication may vary.

Important Information about Generic Carvedilol:

Generic carvedilol contains the same active ingredient as brand-name Coreg and is required to meet the same safety, effectiveness, and quality standards. This means it is designed to work in the same way as Coreg. Studies have demonstrated bioequivalence between generic and brand-name carvedilol, meaning they have comparable absorption rates and overall effects. However, individual responses to any medication can vary. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist if you have any questions about using generic carvedilol.

For more information about generic drug approval and bioequivalence, please visit Access to Generic Drugs in Canada | Canada.ca.

Dosage:

Carvedilol is available in oral tablets. Generic carvedilol is commonly available in 3.125 mg, 6.25 mg, 12.5 mg, and 25 mg oral tablets at this pharmacy.

Your doctor will determine the appropriate dosage based on your individual needs and medical conditions.

Usage:

Carvedilol is a prescription medication used to treat hypertension (high blood pressure) and heart failure. It is also used to reduce the risk of death after a heart attack (myocardial infarction) in stable patients. Hypertension helps lower blood pressure, reducing the risk of stroke, heart attack, and kidney problems. In heart failure, it helps the heart pump blood more efficiently and reduces the risk of hospitalization and death. After a heart attack, it helps to protect the heart from further damage.

Mechanism of Action:
Coreg (carvedilol) is an antiadrenergic agent that operates through a dual mechanism. It is a nonselective beta-adrenergic receptor blocker (blocking beta-1 and beta-2 receptors) and an alpha-1 adrenergic receptor blocker. The beta-blocking activity reduces heart rate, decreases the force of heart muscle contraction, and lowers blood pressure. The alpha-1 blocking activity causes blood vessels to widen (vasodilation), lowering blood pressure. These combined effects help reduce the heart's workload and improve its function in conditions like heart failure and hypertension.

Take Coreg exactly as your doctor prescribes, following the instructions on the carvedilol product monograph | href.ca. Consult your doctor for personalized guidance and safe use.

The information below summarizes some, but not all, potential side effects, risks, and interactions. Before taking Coreg, it is essential to discuss all possible side effects, risks, and interactions with your doctor or pharmacist.

Contraindications:

This is not an exhaustive list of contraindications. It is crucial to discuss all your medical conditions, past and present, and all medications you are taking with your doctor or pharmacist before starting Coreg.

Coreg should not be used if:
• You have a history of serious allergic reactions to carvedilol.
• You have asthma or other breathing problems, specifically bronchial asthma or related bronchospastic conditions (e.g., chronic bronchitis and emphysema)
• You have cardiogenic shock.
• You have severe bradycardia (slow heart rate).
• You have second- or third-degree AV block (unless a functioning pacemaker is present).
• You have sick sinus syndrome (unless a functioning pacemaker is present).
• You have severe decompensated heart failure that requires intravenous inotropic therapy.
• You have severe liver impairment.

Tell your doctor about all of your medical conditions, past and present, before starting Coreg. This is crucial because certain conditions can affect whether Coreg is right for you. These conditions may include, but are not limited to:
• Angina (chest pain)
• Circulation problems (such as Raynaud’s phenomenon), peripheral vascular disease
• Diabetes
• Kidney disease
• Low blood pressure
• Myasthenia Gravis
• Pheochromocytoma (tumour of the adrenal gland)
• Thyroid problems

Do not stop this medication unless directed by your doctor. Stopping Coreg suddenly can cause chest pain, a heart attack, or a sudden increase in blood pressure. Your doctor will usually want to gradually decrease your dose if you need to stop taking it.

Anesthesia and Surgery:
Inform your doctor or surgeon that you are taking Coreg before any surgery, including dental surgery, as it can affect how your body responds to anesthesia.

Dizziness and Drowsiness:
Coreg may cause dizziness or drowsiness, especially when you first start taking it or when your dose changes. Avoid driving, operating machinery, or engaging in activities that require alertness until you know how it affects you.

Drug Interactions:

Before taking Coreg, it is essential to discuss all potential risks and interactions with your doctor or pharmacist. For complete and up-to-date information, refer to the official Coreg website: https://coreg.com/

Provide your doctor with a complete list of all your medications, including prescriptions, over-the-counter (OTC) drugs, vitamins, and herbal supplements. Coreg can interact with several medications, including (but not limited to) alpha-blockers, amiodarone, calcium channel blockers (e.g., diltiazem, verapamil), clonidine, digoxin, diuretics, fluoxetine, insulin or oral hypoglycemic agents, MAO inhibitors, propafenone, quinidine, rifampin, and selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs).

Pregnancy and Breastfeeding:

The FDA pregnancy category for Coreg is category C. Coreg should only be used during pregnancy if the potential benefits outweigh the risks to the fetus. It may affect the fetus. Carvedilol passes into breast milk and may harm a nursing infant. Nursing is generally not recommended while taking Coreg. Women who are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding must discuss the risks and benefits with their doctor.

Frequently Asked Questions about Coreg at Canada Pharmacy Online:

Why is Coreg more affordable in Canada than in the United States?

Prescription drug prices, including Coreg, are generally lower in Canada than in the US due to a combination of factors, primarily government price regulations, differing market dynamics, and other economic considerations. In Canada, provincial and federal governments negotiate drug prices with pharmaceutical companies, which often results in lower costs compared to the US, where market forces play a more significant role. For more information, see the FAQs on Prescription Drug Importation from the Kaiser Family Foundation (KFF): https://www.kff.org/health-costs/issue-brief/faqs-on-prescription-drug-importation/

Can I take Coreg with food?

Coreg should be taken with food to help slow the drug's absorption and reduce the risk of dizziness or light-headedness. Always follow your doctor’s instructions.

Can I crush or chew Coreg tablets?

Coreg tablets should be swallowed whole. Consult your doctor or pharmacist if you have difficulty swallowing tablets. Coreg CR (extended-release capsules) may be opened, sprinkled on a spoonful of applesauce, and eaten immediately. Talk to your doctor if you are taking an extended-release capsule.

Will Coreg cure my high blood pressure or heart failure?

Coreg helps to manage high blood pressure and heart failure, but it is not a cure. It works to control the condition and reduce the risk of complications. Consult your doctor for appropriate management of your condition.

How quickly does Coreg start working?

The onset of action for Coreg can vary. For hypertension, it may take a few weeks to see the full effect on blood pressure. Heart failure improvements may be gradual and take several weeks or months.

What should I do if I miss a dose of Coreg?

If you miss a dose of Coreg, take it as soon as you remember, provided it is within 12 hours of your regular time. If it is over 12 hours past your regular time, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular dosing schedule. Do not take a double dose to make up for a missed one.
