    Carvedilol is an alpha and beta-blocker used to treat high blood pressure and heart failure. It works by blocking alpha-1 receptors in blood vessels causing vasodilation and decreasing peripheral resistance, and by blocking beta-1 receptors in the heart preventing reflex tachycardia. Common side effects include dizziness, lightheadedness, and swelling. Nurses monitor blood pressure and heart rate before initiation and with dose changes, and watch for signs of decompensation in heart failure patients. Clopidogrel is an antithrombotic medication that selectively inhibits platelet aggregation by blocking the binding of ADP to its receptor. It is used to lower the risk of heart attack, stroke, and bleeding
