Compare Coreg vs. Bystolic

Carvedilol (Coreg) and nebivolol (Bystolic) are both beta blockers used to treat high blood pressure, but they have some key differences. Carvedilol is also used to manage heart failure and reduce the risk of death after a heart attack, while nebivolol is only approved for high blood pressure. Carvedilol comes in both immediate-release tablets taken twice daily and extended-release capsules taken once daily, whereas nebivolol is typically taken once a day. Carvedilol can cause weight gain and is more likely to cause tiredness and dizziness, while nebivolol is less likely to cause weight gain and erectile dysfunction. Both medications can hide symptoms of low blood sugar and should not be stopped suddenly due to the risk of chest pain or heart attack. Carvedilol must be taken with food, but nebivolol can be taken with or without food.
