Carvil 3.125 Tablet is a carvedilol tablet that contains 3.125 mg of carvedilol in each tablet. It belongs to the beta-blocker class, with additional alpha-blocking activity, and is used to help manage high blood pressure and certain heart conditions. Carvil 3.125 Tablet may be prescribed to support the heart in conditions such as heart failure or after a heart attack, when a doctor feels this lower tablet strength is appropriate.

How it works: Carvedilol in Carvil 3.125 Tablet helps slow the heart rate and lower blood pressure by blocking beta receptors, which reduces how hard the heart has to work. It also relaxes blood vessels by blocking alpha receptors, which can improve blood flow and make the tablet useful for long-term heart and blood pressure management.
