Introduction
Cavelon is a medicine used to treat high blood pressure, heart related chest pain (angina) and heart failure. It works by relaxing the blood vessels, so blood can flow more easily to the heart.

It is important to take it even if you feel well or if your blood pressure is controlled. You should not stop this medicine without talking to the doctor as your condition could get worse....

How Cavelon works
Cavelon is an alpha and beta blocker. It works by slowing down the heart rate and relaxing blood vessels which makes the heart more efficient at pumping blood around the body.
Quick Tips
- It should be taken with food.
- Check your blood pressure 1 week after starting Cavelon, and inform your doctor if it has not improved.

- It is best to avoid drinking alcohol while taking Cavelon as it may make the side effects worse.
- Do not stop taking Cavelon suddenly as it can cause your blood pressure to rise suddenly, thereby increasing the risk of heart attack and stroke.

Administration
Should be taken with food.
Adult Dose
Congestive Heart Failure Immediate release 3.125 mg PO q12hr for 2 weeks, then increased every 2 weeks as tolerated to 6.25 mg, 12.5 mg, or 25 mg PO twice daily Maximum recommended dosage (mild-to-moderate heart failure): 85 kg: 50 mg PO twice daily Maximum recommended dosage (severe heart failure): 25 mg PO twice daily Extended release 10 mg/day PO; maintained for 1-2 weeks if tolerated; may be increased to 20 mg/day, 40 mg/day, or 80 mg/day PO if necessary Hypertension Immediate release: 6.25 mg PO twice daily initially; after 7-14 days, increased as tolerated, first to 12.5 mg PO twice...

Safety and efficacy not established
Renal Dose
Renal impairment: No dosage adjustments necessary
Contraindication
Hypersensitivity; severe chronic heart failure, bronchial asthma or related bronchospastic conditions; severe hepatic impairment. Patients with NYHA class IV cardiac failure, 2nd or 3rd ° AV block, sick sinus syndrome (unless a permanent pacemaker is in place), cardiogenic shock or severe bradycardia. Lactation.
Mode of Action
Carvedilol is a nonselective beta-adrenoreceptor and alpha-adrenergic blocking activity. It exerts antihypertensive effect partly by reducing total peripheral resistance and vasodilation.
Precaution
Avoid abrupt withdrawal as it may precipitate thyroid storm or exacerbate hyperthyroidism. Liver injury; vascular disease, renal failures, suspected phaeochromocytoma and prinzmetal's variable angina; worsening cardiac failure or fluid retention during increase in dosage of carvedilol; diabetic patients. Pregnancy.
Lactation: Unknown whether drug is excreted in milk; not recommended

Pregnancy Category Note
Pregnancy Available data in pregnant women are insufficient to determine whether there are drug-associated risks of adverse developmental outcomes; there are risks to mother and fetus associated with poorly controlled hypertension in pregnancy; the use of beta blockers during third trimester of pregnancy may increase risk of hypotension, bradycardia, hypoglycemia, and respiratory depression in neonates; in animal reproduction studies, there was no evidence of adverse developmental outcomes at clinically relevant doses; observe newborns for symptoms of hypotension, bradycardia, hypoglycemia, and respiratory depression and manage accordingly Hypertension in pregnancy increases maternal risk for pre-eclampsia, gestational diabetes, premature delivery, and delivery complications...
... Show moreInteraction
Decreased serum levels w/ rifampicin. Combination w/ Ca channel blockers (e.g. verapamil and diltiazem) can lead to bradycardia and myocardial depression. Potentiates insulin-induced hypoglycaemic action. May increase hypoglycaemic effects of antidiabetic agents. Increased risk of bradycardia w/ digoxin. Increased risk of hypotension and bradycardia w/ reserpine, MAOIs, clonidine. May increase ciclosporin concentrations. Concurrent use w/ ether, cyclopropane, trichloroethylene may increase the risk of hypotension and heart failure.
