Carvedilol is the generic form of Coreg, used to treat high blood pressure and heart failure. Heart failure prevents the heart from pumping an adequate amount of blood to all parts of the body. This drug may also be given to people whose hearts cannot pump blood as well as they used to because of a heart attack. Carvedilol is a beta blocker that will relax your blood vessels and slow your heart rate so that your blood flow improves and your blood pressure goes down. Approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 1995, carvedilol is sold under the brand names Coreg and Coreg CR.
