Corgard is primarily used to treat hypertension (high blood pressure) and angina pectoris (chest pain). It may also be prescribed for certain irregular heartbeat conditions.
Corgard is a non-selective beta-blocker that works by blocking beta-adrenergic receptors, which reduces the effects of stress hormones like adrenaline. This results in decreased heart rate, reduced force of heart contractions, and lowered blood pressure.
Corgard should not be stopped suddenly as this may worsen chest pain or cause heart problems. Common side effects may include fatigue, dizziness, and slow heartbeat. Patients with asthma, certain heart conditions, or diabetes should use this medication with caution. Always follow your healthcare provider's instructions and report any unusual symptoms.
