What does it do?

Carvedilol granules are a medication belonging to the beta-blocker class, primarily used for the treatment of hypertension and cardiovascular diseases. This ingredient helps reduce the burden on the heart and manage blood pressure.

Carvedilol blocks beta receptors in the heart and blood vessels, leading to a decrease in heart rate and dilation of blood vessels. As a result, blood pressure decreases and the burden on the heart is reduced.
