Brief Answer:
the dose of carvediol can be optimised
Detailed Answer:
HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
The carvediol is in the family of drugs called beta blockers. These agents , in addition to reducing blood pressure , can also reduce the heart rate.
The dose range of the carvediol is 6.25 mg twice daily up to 25 mg twice daily so there is room for it to be increased.
You may want to consider visiting your doctor for an assessment and modification of your meds.
He or she may initially increase to 12.5 mg twice daily before moving up to 25 mg twice daily.
There are many hypertensive persons who need at least 3 medications for control. If the use of higher doses of carvediol and hydrochlorothiazide are not helpful then you may need another antihypertensive from another drug family.
I hope this helps, feel free to ask any other questions
