Coreg vs Metoprolol

Coreg

Metoprolol

Carvedilol is used to treat high blood pressure and heart failure. It is also used after a heart attack to improve the chance of survival if your heart is not pumping well. Lowering high blood pressure helps prevent strokes, heart attacks, and kidney problems.

This medication is a beta-blocker used to treat chest pain (angina), heart failure, and high blood pressure. Lowering high blood pressure helps prevent strokes, heart attacks, and kidney problems. This drug works by blocking the action of certain natural chemicals in your body (such as epinephrine) that affect the heart and blood vessels. This lowers heart rate, blood pressure, and strain on the heart. OTHER USES: This section contains uses of this drug that are not listed in the approved US professional labeling for the drug but that may be prescribed by your health care professional. Use this drug for a condition that is listed in this section only if it has been so prescribed by your health care professional.

Med. worked great at first when other b.p. meds failed, this doesn't make me light headed, however the side effects creeped up over time like no sex drive, weight gain, hair loss and tire easily. All extreme opposite of who I am! Started on 25mg within 2 years now 100mg twice a day.

After taking this for several months my BP was still 130's over 80's. Had terrible swelling in hands and feet. The wheezing was so bad I couldn't sleep at night. Terrible muscle pain and shortness of breath. Doctor changed me Lisinopril and the difference is amazing! BP 120's over 70's and feel so 100% better!

Thought I would try the generic Toprol XL again due to not having insurance. What a big mistake. Tried it before and it gave me Asthma. Now after taking it for a month I developed major constipation and chest congestion. So now I'm having to bite the bullet and go back to the real Toprol XL. The difference of the generic verses the non-generic is un-freakin real!
