Carveda (25mg) 10 Tablets – Carvedilol Tablets for High Blood Pressure & Heart Failure Treatment

Description

Carveda 25mg Tablets contain Carvedilol, a non-selective beta-blocker with alpha-blocking activity used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension), chronic heart failure, and angina (chest pain).
