Medicine Description vedocard 3.125mg
Vedocard 3.125 mg 30 tablets is a medication that belongs to the class of beta-blockers and alpha-1 blockers. It exerts its therapeutic effects primarily by blocking beta-adrenergic receptors in the heart and peripheral vasculature, leading to decreased heart rate, reduced myocardial oxygen demand, and lower blood pressure. The alpha-1 blockade results in vasodilation, further enhancing blood flow and reducing systemic vascular resistance. This dual action contributes to improved cardiac output and overall cardiovascular health.
