Hi dear thanks for trusting us in HCM. I have gone through your questions. may I know how much the dosage of Coreg do you usually consume? do you use another medicine together along with Coreg?
Coreg contains Carvedilol is a beta-blockers, is used to treat
heart failure and
hypertension (
high blood pressure). taking carvedilol can trigger side effects such as
dizziness,
lightheadedness,
drowsiness, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, weakness, tiredness, headache, ankle knee and great toe joint pain, arm, back, feet or jaw pain, cough, dry eyes, vision changes, numbness or
tingling sensation, decreased sex drive, impotence or difficulty having an orgasm.
what you feel like above is the side effect of carrvedilol. the side effect is more frequent with the higher dosage. if these really disturb your quality of life, please contact your treating doctor.
here some tips for you:
- take carvedilol exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Your doctor may change your dose to make sure you get the best results based on your condition. Do not take this medicine in larger or smaller amounts or for longer than recommended.
- this drug works best if you take it with food.
- take it at the same time every day. Do not skip doses or stop taking Coreg without first talking to your doctor. it may make your condition worse.
- please check your blood pressure routinely.
I hope these can be helpful for you. If there's something else you need to be discussed please contact me in HCM. take care.
best regards,
dr. Asti Yuliadha
