Vacodil 25mg Tablet 10s (Strip)

Vacodil 25mg Tablet belongs to a class of medications called non-selective beta blockers and contains carvedilol as its active ingredient. It works by blocking beta-1, beta-2, and alpha-1 adrenergic receptors, helping to lower blood pressure, reduce the heart’s workload, and improve heart function in certain cardiovascular conditions. If you are starting this medication, it is helpful to know that it is usually taken with food, once or twice daily depending on your condition, and your doctor will generally increase the dose gradually rather than starting at the full treatment dose. Some people experience dizziness, tiredness, low blood pressure when standing, or a slower heart rate, particularly during the first few weeks of treatment. This medicine should be taken consistently as part of a long-term treatment plan and should never be stopped abruptly, as sudden withdrawal may worsen blood pressure control, angina, or other heart-related conditions.

For hypertension, treatment usually starts at a lower dose and is increased gradually at intervals of at least 2 weeks, up to a maximum of 50mg daily. For angina, the typical starting dose is 12.5mg twice daily for the first 2 days, then increased to 25mg twice daily, up to a maximum of 100mg daily in divided doses. For chronic heart failure, dosing is individualised and must be carefully adjusted and monitored by your doctor.

• Carvedilol – a non-selective beta blocker with additional alpha-1 adrenergic blocking activity

• Known hypersensitivity to carvedilol or any other ingredient in the formulation
• Severe liver impairment
• Decompensated (unstable) heart failure requiring intravenous inotropic therapy
• Severe bradycardia, second- or third-degree AV block, or sick sinus syndrome unless a functioning pacemaker is in place

Vacodil interacts significantly with clonidine, and if both medicines need to be stopped, the beta blocker should generally be discontinued first, followed by a gradual reduction of clonidine several days later. It may also interact with medicines that inhibit the liver enzyme CYP2D6, such as fluoxetine, quinidine, propafenone, and paroxetine, which can increase carvedilol levels in the body. Inform your doctor or pharmacist about all other medications and supplements you are taking.
