Product Overview

Artist Tablets 1.25mg (active ingredient: Carvedilol) is a high-quality beta-blocker medication manufactured in Japan by Daiichi Sankyo Co., Ltd. It works by blocking beta-1, beta-2, and alpha-1 adrenergic receptors, which slows the heart rate and widens blood vessels. This action lowers blood pressure and reduces the heart’s workload, helping to manage conditions such as high blood pressure, angina, and heart failure. The 1.25mg dose is the lowest strength available, often used as a starting dose especially for patients beginning treatment for chronic heart failure or those requiring gradual dose increases. Even at this low dose, carvedilol can improve heart function and help prevent worsening of heart failure. Each tablet is film-coated for easy swallowing.

Dosage Guidelines

Follow your doctor’s instructions for taking Artist 1.25mg. For chronic heart failure, treatment typically begins with 1.25mg taken twice daily after meals. If this dose is well tolerated, the doctor may gradually increase the dosage (usually at weekly intervals) to a higher strength. Do not change the dosage or frequency without medical advice. This low strength is generally not used on its own for high blood pressure or angina; it serves as an initial dose to be increased under medical supervision. Take each dose at the same times each day, with food if recommended (taking carvedilol with food can help reduce dizziness). If you have any questions about how to take this medication, consult your healthcare provider.

Possible Side Effects

Common side effects of carvedilol include dizziness or lightheadedness (especially when standing up), fatigue, a slow heartbeat (bradycardia), and low blood pressure. You might also experience headache, mild nausea, or cold hands and feet. These effects are usually mild and tend to improve as your body adjusts to the medication. To reduce dizziness, get up slowly from sitting or lying down. If you experience severe side effects such as fainting, very slow heart rate, difficulty breathing, or signs of an allergic reaction (e.g. rash or swelling of the face/throat), seek medical attention immediately. Inform your doctor if side effects persist or worry you.

FAQ

Q: What if I miss a dose?
A: If you forget to take a dose, take it as soon as you remember on the same day. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and take your next dose at the regular time. Do not take a double dose to make up for the missed one. If you are unsure, consult your doctor or pharmacist.

Q: How should I store this medication?
A: Store Artist Tablets in a cool, dry place at room temperature, away from direct sunlight and moisture. It is recommended to keep the tablets in their original blister packaging until use to protect them from light. Do not store this medicine in a bathroom or humid environment. Keep it out of reach of children.

Q: Is it safe to take this long-term?
A: Yes. Carvedilol is often used as a long-term treatment for chronic conditions like heart failure and hypertension, and it has no specific time limit for use. Many patients safely take it for years under medical supervision. Continue to take it as prescribed, even if you feel well. Do not stop taking Artist Tablets suddenly without consulting your doctor, as stopping suddenly can worsen your condition.
