Will taking Carloc and Cardace for CABG lower BP?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I have gone through the reports (attachment removed to protect patient identity). Firstly, her heart function being low 25 to 30 percent, she has the tendency for low BP. So her BP will remain low. Over and above, Carloc (Carvedilol) and Cardace, both lower the BP. But, in her case, these medicines are necessary in order to prevent further decline in heart function. So, if she is not having symptoms like dizziness, excessive fatigue, they should be continued with the same dosing. Usually, more than 95 to 100 systolic is fine if not symptomatic.

Hi,

In that case, Cardace should be without that particular time and BP is still too low, then both. For that, it is better to have a gap of 1 to 2 hours between these two medicines. And if frequently, her BP is staying this much low then you should discuss regarding the reduction of Cardace dose to once a day. Another reason for these symptoms could be a low pulse rate which may occur with Carloc, so pulse rate should also be noted. Anything more than 55 per minute is fine for her. If it is low then needs Carloc reduction instead of Cardace.
