coreg drug

Did the operative report state that the damaged heart cells could be revived? Coreg is the drug of choice to revive those cells. Coreg is considered by some heart patients, me included as a wonder drug, Many, many people who take the drug have seen an increase in weight when it is administered, me included. However, it helped my heart health a great deal, the the weight gain was temporary.

Other than lowering your pulse and blood pressure, if you took Coreg but did not need it, could it cause other damage? What symptoms would you have? I am on Coreg as a trial to see if it fixes my chronic shortness of breath. I just wondered if it was safe to do so or if it could cause permanent damage if in fact I did not need it.

First observation I know is correct, Coreg and Carvedilol are the exact same drug, except Carvedilol is the generic form of Coreg. Increasing the combination would mean over 120mg, an unheard of dosage. You are already taking a gorilla dose and that can cause a drop of EF in my opinion. EF ratings fluctuate. I'd ask for a BNP test that is used to determine the level of CHF one has. Usually less than 100 indicates no CHF.

You would be at a high risk for worsening your heart problems if you get pregnant. I don't believe coreg is a category C drug meaning it hasn't been tested on pregnat humans but the fetus animal study doesn't look good. I had Peripartum Cardiomyopathy with my second child and had to stop breast feeding because of the coreg. even though I recovered completely without heart transplant I was told not to have anymore babies, because I may not be so lucky.

Could my regular docter give me a prescription for carvedidol substitution for coreg

I do believe Coreg is a miracle drug. As much as I hate it, I love it. Ask your doctor if Ranexa will help you.

Of the medications you listed, I am very familiar with Coreg. Coreg is well known for causing profound fatigue. It's a fight to cope with it. Every one I know that takes it has fatigue problems. For suggestions, see http://www.wikihow.

I will be stopping my ccb verapamil and dieretic maxzide - within a few days from now - and will be changing to a beta blocker Coreg. after reading online im wondering if changing without waiting 24 hours inbetween the change over - if I can have a interaction between the ccb and beta blocker meds ? as Doctor said nothing about this ! also doctor said very few people have problems on this med Coreg ? I tend not to belive that, as im reading all the side effects listed !! there are meny !

He had a cath 9-11 at a different facility by a different heart group and he has been told that his heart is completely clean with no blockages. He has been on Coreg for the past 3 years and a statin drug for 1 year. Is it possible that he would show absolutely no coronary disease like this?

May be there is an optimum dose of coreg for each person depending on his physical condition and the drug becomes most effective at this dose. You can try increasing gradually with your doctors advice and see if you get the desired results. Wish you good luck.

Yes, I truly worry about the effects of western medicine on us poor HMO suckers. Fortunately I do know why my doctor prescribed Coreg and from research I've done on my own, I think it's the right drug for me...just never wanted to be on medication long term and am still mourning the loss of the life I thought I was going to have (by that I mean, super healthy, drug free with no physical limitations).

ve always been athletic and had a difficult time not going all out when exercising. I am also on an ace inhibitor and a beta blocker. Coreg 7.5mg and Cozaar 25mg. Before heart problem was running 71/2 to 8 minute paces on miles now lucky to run 10 minute and don't seem to have much stamina or wind.

I have a friend - male- 68 who had a heart attack ~ 6 years ago. He takes a beta blocker - Coreg. I've known him for 3 years. During that time, he's always had, but now it's getting worse, a slow pulse & low Blood Pressure. Last night it was 84/54 pulse - 52. and he was feeling dizzy. Called the Dr. who said to drink fluids & take something salty - like saltine crackers. I just read up on Coreg - - beta blocker, and on low blood pressure.

My dr said go ahead and start the coreg,and to take it only when things are over a 100.Well my pharmasist told me that coreg is a drug that needs to be taken daiely not as needed so im so confused.This dizziness is scaring me i feel kinda confused and like i havwe been hit in the chest hard but i havent.The cardolgist says my heart is fine and its mainly my anxiety.Has anyone had such bad dizziness before.The pahrmaisist says my body needs to adjust to getting off the tiazac...

I will come off effient eventually and stay on a low dose aspirin. No problem. I would like to minimize the coreg and statin. The diet I am on is helpful for Nitric oxide and for endothelial health as well as providing some level natural ACE inhibition, and platelet aggregation inhibition, and is high in natural anti-oxidants. So, what will staying on 6.25 mg coreg and 10 mg pravastatin do for me in the long run?

This drug is also known under the brand name of Coreg...it is a beta blocker used to treat hypertension among other things. How high is your heart rate?

Are you taking Plavix or the generic equivalent? I think the Endeavor stent is a drug eluting product and Plavix is recommended for any stent of that type. I had breathlessness after one stent procedure and it was discovered indeed I had a problem that needed attention, I would report your symptoms. Keep us informed. My suggestion is to contact your doctor and let him sort out the symptoms. Keep us informed.

I am 60 yr old female. Had 2 drug eluding stents put in May 26 this year. Put on Coreg, Plavix and Lispinopril at discharge. After several days with shortness of breath cardiologist took me off Coreg. I have now been off for 6 days and I still have SOB except when sleeping.What else could be going on?? The office visit when he took me off Coreg also had a clean EKG, good BP all arteries pumping properly, good blood oxygen level. The SOB doesn't increase remarkably during low level exercise.

I know a lot of Doctors are in different camps over this, but I spoke to a Doctor 4 weeks ago who said he worked at a heart hospital for a few years and witnessed some dramatic improvements with the drug coenzyme Q10. He believes that the Doctors who have stated it probably has no effect have either never tried it, or have never witnessed the benefits on patients. Different brands of beta blockers have different effects on different patients.

I thought that is was due to the medications that he was taking so I called his PCP and ask him he said that he was not sure but the next time he is in the office he will look at it and see. But my question is he takes plavix, aspirin, lisinopril, Zocor, Zoloft, Coreg, lithium, and methadone. I took him off the lithium thinking that was the cause because after doing research sleeping all the time was something major with that drug.

25 with bad breathing problems, had an electro-cardioversion that brought me back to normal sinus rythem, normal breathing and again EF back up to 40% in 1-month continued on with Coreg and Digoxin for 9-months, came off the coreg and continued taking the Digitek only.

Of course, lots of things can cause headaches, but the fact that you did not have headaches before you were put on Coreg--and now you DO--makes a pretty strong case that Coreg is in some way responsible. Call your doctor and report this problem.
