About Carloc 6.25 Tablet

Carloc 6.25 Tablet is used to treat hypertension (high blood pressure), moderate to severe heart failure, and angina (heart-related chest pain). Besides this, Carloc 6.25 Tablet also reduces the risk of heart attack or stroke in adults. High blood pressure is a condition in which the force of blood against the artery walls is very high. It will be an addition to the workload of the heart and arteries. If it continues for a long time, the heart and arteries may not function properly and damage the heart, brain, and kidneys' blood vessels, resulting in heart failure, stroke, or kidney failure.

Carloc 6.25 Tablet contains Carvedilol, which acts by relaxing blood vessels by blocking the action of certain natural substances like epinephrine or adrenaline.
