COREG  (CARVEDILOL):  Carvedilol is used to treat high blood pressure and heart failure. It is also used after a heart attack to improve the chance of survival if your heart is not pumping well. Lowering high blood pressure helps prevent strokes, heart attacks, and kidney problems. This drug works by blocking the action of certain natural substances in your body, such as epinephrine, on the heart and blood vessels. This effect lowers your heart rate, blood pressure, and strain on your heart. Carvedilol belongs to a class of drugs known as alpha and beta blockers.   (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA) FDA Approval Date: 1995-09-14

 2  CHF Class 1 Inability to breath properly on increasing dosage, breathlessness, mild gasping for breath. I had no breathing problems or fatigue associated with CHF except a high heart beat 80-90 After taking coreg twice daily 3.5 mg than 6.5 mg twice daily, I developed a problem breathing normally and my heartrate and blood pressure were unchanged. I tapered off by taking 3.5 mg twice daily for one week then 3.5 mg daily for one week. The symptoms disappeared. This drug although effective in some people is definitely a problem for others. M 58 14 days

 1  Cardiomyopathy Inability to breathe, weakness climbing stairs, congestive heart failure (2 times)-due to extreme drop in blood pressure. I have stopped taking this medicine, it was having an adverse reaction with the function of my heart. Since stopping a month ago I have felt stronger and no shortness of breath. This medicine is not for everyone, I urge you to investigate with a second and third opinion. M 57 4 months
