Corvitol: Cardioselective beta1-blocker for the treatment of cardiovascular diseases

Corvitol, also known as metoprolol, is a cardioselective beta1-blocker that is widely used to treat various cardiovascular diseases. This drug is produced in Germany by the pharmaceutical company Berlin-Chemie AG, and it is in the group of beta1-blockers.

Corvitol is available in various dosage forms, including 50 mg and 100 mg tablets. Its active substance is metoprolol. The drug has a wide range of indications for use, including arterial hypertension, coronary heart disease, cardiac arrhythmia, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and other conditions.

One of the main advantages of Corvitol is its selectivity to beta1-adrenergic receptors. This means that the drug exerts its effect primarily on the heart muscle, minimizing the effect on beta2-adrenergic receptors, which are located in other organs and tissues of the body. This cardioselective effect makes Corvitol safer to use in patients with concomitant diseases such as bronchial asthma or diabetes mellitus.

Despite its safety, the use of Corvitol requires some caution. Contraindications include hypersensitivity to the drug, heart failure, low heart rate, hypotension and some other conditions. In uncontrolled diseases such as diabetes or asthma, as well as in the presence of impaired liver or kidney function, special caution is required when using Corvitol.

Like any other medicine, Corvitol has side effects. Some of these include weakness, dizziness, headache, drowsiness or insomnia, muscle cramps, vision changes, decreased libido and taste disturbances. Cardiovascular problems may also occur, such as bradycardia, hypotension and arrhythmias, as well as gastrointestinal dysfunction.

When prescribing Corvitol, patients must strictly follow the doctor's recommendations and regularly monitor their condition. Dosage of the drug Oh, it seems my previous answer was cut short. Sorry for the inconvenience. Here's the continuation:

The dosage of the drug and the regimen are determined by the doctor depending on the specific condition of the patient. Corvitol is usually taken orally once or twice a day, regardless of meals. The starting dose may be low and gradually increased over several weeks.
