25 mg Coreg
General information
Coreg is an alpha and beta blocker used to treat high blood pressure and heart failure. It is also used after a heart attack to improve the chance of survival. Lowering high blood pressure helps prevent strokes, heart attacks, and kidney problems. This drug works by blocking the action of certain natural chemicals in your body (such as epinephrine) that affect the heart and blood vessels. This effect lowers heart rate, blood pressure, and strain on the heart.
Directions
Take Coreg exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Take this medication by mouth with food, usually twice daily. The recommended starting dose for treatment of congestive heart failure is 3.125 mg, twice a day. The recommended starting dose following a heart attack is 6.25 mg, twice a day. You should not stop Coreg without first discussing it with your doctor. Stopping the drug abruptly increases the risk for serious side effects.
Precautions
Before taking Coreg you should talk with your doctor if you have allergic reaction to beta blockers, asthma, sinus bradycardia, severe heart failure, breathing problems (bronchitis, emphysema), diabetes, blood circulation problems, kidney disease, pheochromocytoma, myasthenia. This drug may make you dizzy or drowsy. Do not drive or perform tasks that require alertness.
