Carvedilol has a 'non-selective' action - this means that it not only affects beta receptors in the heart, it also affects beta receptors in the lungs (this may cause breathing difficulties
General information
Carvedilol is a racemic mixture of (±)-1-(carbazol-4- yloxy)-3-[[2-(o-methoxyphenoxy) ethyl]amino] the risk for new-onset diabetes was 22% lower in patients receiving carvedilol than those receiving metoprolol
FDA-approved uses of beta-1-selective blockers include hypertension, chronic stable angina, heart failure, post-myocardial infarction, and decreased left ventricular function after a recent myocardial infarction

Indeed, cAMP abundance was enhanced by the action of carvedilol at the β 2 AR, and this effect was nullified only in G protein-deficient cells yet partially recovered with Gα s re-expression For hypertension, the recommended starting dose of Coreg is 6
