CARVIL OD 20 MG Tablet 10 contains carvedilol (20 mg), which works on the body as follows:

• Beta-1 receptor blockade: Carvedilol blocks beta-1 receptors in the heart, which reduces heart rate and the force of heart contractions, decreasing the workload on your heart.
• Beta-2 receptor blockade: By blocking beta-2 receptors in your blood vessels and lungs, carvedilol helps prevent certain hormones from affecting these areas, contributing to its overall effect on blood pressure.
• Alpha-1 receptor blockade: Carvedilol also blocks alpha-1 receptors in your blood vessels, causing them to relax and widen (vasodilation), which reduces resistance to blood flow and lowers blood pressure.
• Controlled release action: The controlled-release (CR) formulation allows the medicine to be released slowly into your body.
