About Cardivas 3.125 Tablet 15's

Cardivas 3.125 Tablet 15's is used to treat hypertension (high blood pressure), moderate to severe heart failure, and angina (heart-related chest pain). Besides this, Cardivas 3.125 Tablet 15's also reduces the risk of heart attack or stroke in adults. High blood pressure is a condition in which the force of blood against the artery walls is very high. It will be an addition to the workload of the heart and arteries.

Cardivas 3.125 Tablet 15's contains Carvedilol, which acts by relaxing blood vessels by blocking the action of certain natural substances like epinephrine or adrenaline.
