Does Carvedil make you tired?
Yes, Carvedil may make you tired as well as dizzy. These may occur initially when you start the treatment or when the dose is increased. If you experience these symptoms you should not drive or operate machinery.
Can Carvedil cause weight gain?
Yes, weight gain is a common side effect of Carvedil, but it does not occur in everyone. If you are taking Carvedil for heart failure, tell your doctor if you gain weight or have trouble breathing, as this may be a sign of fluid retention.
Can Carvedil cause kidney failure?
Use of Carvedil in patients with heart failure can rarely lead to deterioration of kidney function. However, Carvedil may cause risk of kidney failure in patients with low blood pressure (systolic blood pressure less than 100 mm Hg), patients with hardening of the arteries and/or having heart disease or already having impaired kidney function. Such patients should be closely monitored during treatment with Carvedil. Although, kidney functions return to baseline when Carvedil is stopped.
Can a diabetic patient take Carvedil?
Yes, a diabetic patient can take Carvedil, provided that there is a regular check on blood glucose levels. It has been noted that in well controlled diabetes mellitus with mild to moderate hypertension, Carvedil did not have any effect on blood glucose levels. However, it is important to know that, using Carvedil class of medicines (beta blockers) may hide the symptoms of hypoglycemia (decrease in glucose levels), especially increase in heart beat or palpitations. In addition to that, Carvedil may cause worsening of hyperglycaemia (increase in blood glucose levels) in patients with heart failure and diabetes. Hence, it is recommended that blood glucose should be monitored while initiating, adjusting, or discontinuing the dose of Carvedil. Inform the doctor if there is any change in blood glucose levels during Carvedil therapy.
Can I take Carvedil empty stomach?
It is recommended that you take Carvedil with food, as food decreases the rate at which the medicine gets absorbed by the body. This will help to reduce the chances of orthostatic hypotension (low blood pressure which may cause dizziness or fainting when you stand up).
