HESI Critical Care - Free Test Sample Questions

Of the following, which is the generic name for the beta blocker, Coreg?





Correct Answer:
carvedilol


carvedilol is a medication classified as a beta blocker, which is used primarily to treat heart conditions such as high blood pressure and heart failure. beta blockers work by blocking the effects of the hormone epinephrine, also known as adrenaline, and by relaxing the heart and blood vessels, which helps to lower blood pressure and improve heart function.

the brand name for carvedilol is coreg. brand names are the trade names under which a medication is sold by a particular pharmaceutical company, while the generic name is the standard name for the drug itself, irrespective of the brand. generic drugs are typically less expensive and may be sold under several different brand names, but the generic name remains the same.

it's important to note that while generic drugs are chemically identical to their branded counterparts, they might differ in secondary aspects like fillers, preservatives, and packaging. however, they are required by the fda to demonstrate that they are bioequivalent to the brand-name version, ensuring that they provide the same medical benefits.

other examples of beta blockers include labetalol, nadolol, and timolol maleate, which are sold under the brand names normodyne, corgard, and blocadren, respectively. each of these medications may be used for conditions similar to those treated with carvedilol, but they differ in their specific chemical compositions and properties, which can affect how they are used in individual treatment plans.
