How it works

From the US prescribing label for the same active substance (Carvedilol). It describes the substance, not this exact product.

Carvedilol is a racemic mixture in which nonselective β-adrenoreceptor blocking activity is present in the S(-) enantiomer and α 1 -adrenergic blocking activity is present in both R(+) and S(-) enantiomers at equal potency.

Carvedilol has no intrinsic sympathomimetic activity.

Half-life7–10 h

How the body breaks it down

Carvedilol is extensively metabolized.

How it leaves the body

Less than 2% of the dose was excreted unchanged in the urine.

With food

When administered with food, the rate of absorption is slowed, as evidenced by a delay in the time to reach peak plasma levels, with no significant difference in extent of bioavailability.
