WHAT  
AURO-CARVEDILOL  
USED FOR 

AURO-CARVEDILOL contains the 
active ingredient carvedilol. 

AURO-CARVEDILOL is used to 
treat  
•  heart failure,  
•  high blood pressure, which is called 
hypertension. 

AURO-CARVEDILOL belongs to a 
group of medicines called beta-
blockers. These medicines work by 
relaxing tightened blood vessels and 
slowing the heart rate. AURO-
CARVEDILOL has the additional 
effect of being an antioxidant. 

HEART FAILURE: 
Heart failure occurs when the heart 
can no longer pump blood strongly 
enough for the body's needs. Often the 
heart grows in size to try to improve 
the blood flow but this can make the 
heart failure worse. 
Symptoms of heart failure include 
shortness of breath and swelling of 
the feet or legs due to fluid build-up.  

AURO-CARVEDILOL reduces the 
pressure that the heart has to pump 
against as well as controlling your 
heart rate. Over 6 months or more this 
will reduce the size of an oversized 
heart and increase its efficiency. 

AURO-CARVEDILOL reduces the 
chances of you being admitted to 
hospital and/ or dying from this 
condition.
