COREG CR SUMMARY
COREG CR™
(carvedilol phosphate)
Controlled-Release Capsules
Carvedilol phosphate is a nonselective β-adrenergic blocking agent with α1-blocking activity.
COREG CR is indicated for the following:
Heart Failure
COREG CR is indicated for the treatment of mild-to-severe heart failure of ischemic or cardiomyopathic origin, usually in addition to diuretics, ACE inhibitor, and digitalis, to increase survival and, also, to reduce the risk of hospitalization (see CLINICAL TRIALS).
Left Ventricular Dysfunction Following Myocardial Infarction
COREG CR is indicated to reduce cardiovascular mortality in clinically stable patients who have survived the acute phase of a myocardial infarction and have a left ventricular ejection fraction of ≤40% (with or without symptomatic heart failure) (see CLINICAL TRIALS).
Hypertension
COREG CR is indicated for the management of essential hypertension. It can be used alone or in combination with other antihypertensive agents, especially thiazide-type diuretics (see PRECAUTIONS, Drug Interactions).
