Carvedilol is prescribed to treat high blood pressure (hypertension) as well as congestive heart failure. This medication has a relation with labetalol and works to obstruct the adrenergic nervous system receptors. It may be noted that the adrenergic nervous system is the arrangement of nerves where the epinephrine or adrenalin is active. The nerves belonging to this nervous system go into the heart and discharge an adrenergic substance called norepinephrine, which binds to the receptors on the muscles of the heart and invigorates them to beat faster and more vigorously. As carvedilol obstructs the receptors, it lowers the pace of the heart as well as the force with which it contracts and, in this way, lessens the burden on the heart. In addition, carvedilol causes an obstruction for the adrenergic receptors atop arteries and results in the loosening up of the arteries. This, in turn, leads to a decrease in the blood pressure. The lowering of the blood pressure lessens the workload of the heart further and it becomes a lot easier for it to pump blood when the pressure is lower. Carvedilol was approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for sale and use in the United States in 1995.
