Primary tabs

Carvedilol is a non selective beta-adrenoceptor antagonist which also causes peripheral vasodilation primarily via alpha 1-adrenergic blockade (Strein et al., 1987, McTavish et al., 1993). It has been shown effective in the treatment of mild-to-moderate hypertension and angina, and is currently under investigation in patients with congestive heart failure.
