Studies have shown that COREG CR works to lower blood pressure by:

• Helping the heart beat more slowly and with less force. This puts less strain on the heart*
• Allowing the blood vessels to relax. This means there is less resistance, which helps blood to flow throughout the body

*The way in which beta-blockade lowers blood pressure is unknown.

High blood pressure, or hypertension, is called the “silent killer,” because it often may not have symptoms. You may feel fine, but high blood pressure can still be damaging to your heart. That is why it is so important to treat and control high blood pressure today.

Did you know that:

• Lowering your blood pressure may help reduce your risk for heart attack and stroke?
• Eating a healthy diet and exercising may help to lower your blood pressure and may help you manage other conditions, such as diabetes?

What can I do to help control my high blood pressure?

Making lifestyle changes—such as being active, losing weight, and eating heart-healthy foods—can help lower your high blood pressure. These changes can also help you control diabetes and high cholesterol. But lifestyle changes alone may not be enough to control high blood pressure. Some people with high blood pressure may also need to take medicine.

COREG CR can help lower your blood pressure and is less likely to affect HbA_1c, cholesterol, or weight in people with type 2 diabetes. HbA_1c is a test used to measure average blood sugar control over the last 2 to 3 months.
