Carloc I 6.25 Tablet 10's

Carloc I 6.25 Tablet belongs to a group of antihypertensive medicines used to treat hypertension (high blood pressure). It is also effective in treating moderate to severe heart failure and angina (heart-related chest pain), thereby reducing 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 I 6.25 Tablet contains Carvedilol and Ivabradine combination. Carvedilol acts by relaxing blood vessels by blocking the action of certain natural substances like epinephrine or adrenaline. Ivabradine works by reducing the heart rate by a few beats per minute.  In this way, it lowers the heart's requirement for oxygen, especially in situations where an angina attack can happen. Thus, it lowers the raised blood pressure and keeps the heartbeat slowly reducing with less force, reducing the risk of having a stroke, a heart attack, or other heart problems.

Carloc I 6.25 Tablet should be taken as prescribed. The dose of the medicine will be decided by your doctor based on your medical condition.
