Carvejohn 6.25 mg Tablet

Carvejohn 6.25 mg Tablet contains 6.25 mg of carvedilol in each tablet.

This Carvejohn 6.25 mg Tablet is the standard tablet form made by Johnlee Pharmaceuticals, India, and it is sold in strips/boxes of 10 tablets.

How it works: Carvedilol works by slowing the heart rate and reducing the force of the heart's pumping, which lowers blood pressure and reduces strain on the heart. In tablet form, Carvejohn 6.25 mg Tablet delivers this medicine by mouth so it can be taken regularly as part of a prescribed treatment plan.

Carvejohn 6.25 mg Tablet is a lower tablet strength that is often chosen when a doctor wants a cautious start or a step-up dose. Compared with Carvejohn 12.5 mg Tablet and Carvejohn 25 mg Tablet, it gives a smaller amount of carvedilol per tablet, which can help the body adjust more gradually, especially in people with heart failure or those sensitive to blood pressure drops. It is stronger than Carvejohn 3.125 mg Tablet, so it is not the very first step for every patient.
