Contact your doctor if you experience slow heartbeat, low blood pressure, swelling, headaches, dizziness, or feeling like you might pass out. You may need a dose adjustment or need your blood pressure checked more often to safely use both medications.

MANAGEMENT: Patients should be monitored for signs of increased carvedilol effects, such as bradycardia or heart block.
