My mother in law was put on Carvedilol. I just read all the side affects. This is a life threatening medication! She is itching so much that she's breaking the skin and bleeding. She has hives. Her skin is literally peeling. I have dead skin all over my floor all over her clothes. You can see it peeling off her. We recently moved her from one state to be with us. She had the problem before we picked her up. Her health plan is not effective in our state, so Im looking into others to take her to a dr.
