About
Cardivas IN combines Carvedilol, a non-selective beta-adrenergic blocker with alpha-1 blocking activity, and Isosorbide Mononitrate, a long-acting nitrate. Carvedilol works by reducing heart rate, decreasing myocardial contractility, and causing vasodilation, thereby lowering blood pressure and cardiac workload. Isosorbide Mononitrate primarily acts by relaxing vascular smooth muscle, leading to vasodilation of both arteries and veins, which reduces preload and afterload on the heart. This synergistic combination is particularly effective in managing cardiovascular conditions where both blood pressure control and relief from angina pectoris are required. By improving myocardial oxygen supply and demand balance, Cardivas IN helps to alleviate anginal symptoms, reduce the frequency of attacks, and enhance overall cardiovascular function. This dual-action approach provides a comprehensive strategy for patients needing both anti-hypertensive and anti-anginal therapy.
