HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Coreg is the trade name for the drug carvedilol.
It is a member of the beta blocker family of drugs.
It can come as immediate release medication or sustained release (released slowly into the system).
The immediate release formulation dose can vary from 3.125 to 25 mg twice daily
The sustained release formulation is once daily and can go from 10 mg to 80 mg
I hope this helps
