Carca 6.25 Tablet

Carca 6.25 Tablet contains carvedilol 6.25 mg in each tablet. It belongs to a class of medicines called beta-blockers with alpha-blocking activity, and it is used to treat high blood pressure and certain heart conditions. Carca 6.25 Tablet may be prescribed to help lower blood pressure, reduce strain on the heart, and improve symptoms in some patients with heart failure or after a heart attack. It is a prescription tablet made by Intas Pharmaceuticals Ltd. and is supplied in strips/boxes of 10 tablets.

How it works: Carvedilol in Carca 6.25 Tablet helps relax blood vessels and slow the heart rate, which makes it easier for the heart to pump blood. By reducing the heart’s workload and resistance in the arteries, this tablet can help lower blood pressure and support certain heart conditions.

Carca 6.25 Tablet is a higher strength than Carca 3.125 Tablet, so it is not the usual starting option for everyone. Doctors may choose Carca 6.25 Tablet after a patient has already tolerated a lower carvedilol dose, or when a specific maintenance dose is needed for blood pressure or heart treatment. Because it is a stronger tablet, it may lower blood pressure and heart rate more noticeably than the 3.125 mg strength.

• High blood pressure

Each Carca 6.25 Tablet provides carvedilol 6.25 mg per tablet. The dose may be taken once or twice daily depending on why it is prescribed, but the exact schedule is set by your doctor. There is no single max dose for every patient because it depends on the condition being treated, your blood pressure, heart rate, and how well you tolerate the medicine.

Do not change your dose or stop the medicine without speaking to your doctor.
