Coreg and Ventricular tachycardia - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data

Summary:

Ventricular tachycardia is reported as a side effect among people who take Coreg (carvedilol), especially for people who are male, 60+ old, have been taking the drug for < 1 month also take Lasix, and have Atrial fibrillation/flutter.

The phase IV clinical study analyzes which people have Ventricular tachycardia when taking Coreg. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 48,155 people who have side effects when taking Coreg from the FDA, and is updated regularly.

What is Coreg?

Coreg has active ingredients of carvedilol. It is often used in high blood pressure. eHealthMe is studying from 49,583 Coreg users. Check the latest studies of Coreg.
