How It Works

• Carloc 25mg Tablet is a beta-blocker that blocks alpha receptors as well.
• It does this by:
• Blocking beta-1 and beta-2 receptors slows down the heart and lowers the amount of oxygen it needs.
• Blocking alpha-1 receptors, which makes blood vessels relax and reduces blood pressure.
• These actions together:
• Make the heart's job easier
• Make blood flow better
• Stop the heart from working too hard and improve its function in heart failure or after a heart attack.

Medicine Interaction

• Big Drug Interactions:
• Calcium Channel Blockers (Verapamil, Diltiazem): There is a chance of bradycardia or low blood pressure.
• Digoxin: May raise the chance of a sluggish heart rate. Keep an eye on the ECG.
• Clonidine: Stopping suddenly can induce rebound hypertension.
• Antiarrhythmics (Amiodarone, Flecainide): Can make the impact on cardiac rhythm stronger.
• Insulin or oral antidiabetics: These drugs may hide the signs of low blood sugar.
• NSAIDs (such ibuprofen and diclofenac) may make the blood pressure-lowering effect less strong.
• Drugs that make you sleepy or drunk, including sedatives, anesthetics, or alcohol, can make you feel more dizzy and sleepy.
• Interaction between food and alcohol:
• Alcohol makes the effect of reducing blood pressure stronger and can make you pass out.
