Product Overview

Artist Tablets 2.5mg (Carvedilol) is a high-quality Japanese-made beta-blocker by Daiichi Sankyo Co., Ltd. It works by blocking beta-1, beta-2, and alpha-1 receptors in the body, which slows down the heart rate and helps widen blood vessels. This leads to lower blood pressure and less stress on the heart, helping to manage conditions such as hypertension (high blood pressure), angina, chronic heart failure, and certain irregular heartbeat conditions (like atrial fibrillation). The 2.5mg dose is a low-strength tablet, often used after starting treatment with the 1.25mg dose in heart failure management or when patients need a small dosage increase. It is also one of the doses used to help control rapid heart rhythms such as atrial fibrillation by slowing the heart rate. Each tablet is film-coated for easy swallowing.

Dosage Guidelines

Use Artist 2.5mg exactly as prescribed by your doctor. In chronic heart failure treatment, once the initial 1.25mg dose is tolerated, the dosage is commonly increased to 2.5mg taken twice daily (morning and evening) with meals. Your doctor will monitor your condition and may further adjust the dose gradually over time. For other conditions like high blood pressure or arrhythmia control, 2.5mg may be prescribed as a starting dose or as part of a combination therapy for patients who require a lower dose. (For example, atrial fibrillation management often begins at 5mg once daily, but a 2.5mg dose might be used in certain cases if you are sensitive to medication.) Take this medication at the same time(s) each day and with food if advised, as taking carvedilol with a meal can improve tolerability. Do not adjust your dosage or stop taking this medicine without consulting your healthcare provider.

Possible Side Effects

Side effects of carvedilol 2.5mg are similar to other doses. Commonly reported effects include dizziness or lightheadedness, tiredness, slow heartbeat (bradycardia), and low blood pressure. Some people may experience headache, mild nausea, or cold extremities (cold hands/feet). Most side effects are mild and tend to lessen as your body adjusts. To reduce dizziness, rise slowly from sitting or lying down. If you notice severe side effects such as fainting, extremely slow pulse, breathing difficulties, or signs of an allergic reaction (e.g., rash or swelling of the face/throat), seek medical attention immediately. Let your doctor know if any side effects are persistent or concerning.

FAQ

Q: What if I miss a dose?
A: If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember on the same day. If it is near the time of your next dose, skip the missed dose and resume your normal schedule with the next dose. Do not take two doses at once to make up for the missed dose. If you are unsure, ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice.

Q: How should I store this medication?
A: Store at room temperature, protected from moisture and direct light. Keep the tablets in their original packaging (blister pack) until you are ready to use them. Keep out of reach of children.

Q: Is it safe to take this long-term?
A: Yes. This medication is intended for long-term use in managing chronic conditions. There is no specific limit on how long you can take carvedilol safely. Many patients take it for years under medical supervision. It’s important to keep taking it as prescribed for continued benefit. Do not stop using Artist Tablets suddenly without your doctor’s guidance, as that can cause your condition to worsen.
