What are the alternatives for the heart failure drug, Coreg?
Question:
We will be seeing her Dr. in a couple of days and would like a suggestion as to what might replace the Coreg should the Dr. agree that this is possible.
Answers:
There are more people dying from prescription drugs than you are allowed to read about.
Had you mentioned why your mother was using Coreg, I could point you in the direction of Natural Physicians Healing Therapies which are proven remedies that Medical Doctors don't know about or don't use.
There are pressure points all over the body that can clear up blocked points that control the well being of the heart and other bodily organs.
There are countless vitamins and home remedies that work but the Major Drug Company talking points put all that down as hog wash.

By the way, I am not a radical, I am a realist, and in case you haven't figured it out yet, . . . . . . .It's all about the money.

One possibility, which should not be taken without her doctor's permission, is Coenzyme Q10, often referred to colloquially as CoQ10, which causes the heart muscle to pump with greater strength, thus helping the body to eliminate excess water in the lungs, for example, which is a typical symptom of congestive heart failure, and the edema that accumulates in the lower legs. The elimination of excess water in turn reduces the burden on the heart, allowing it to pump more efficiently, resulting in a reduction in the typical enlargement of the heart that accompanies congestive heart failure.
Well, coreg is also a beta blocker (well, it has alpha activity as well, but mostly beta) and there is also some evidence to indicate that it's the best beta blocker for heart failure. However, there are two drugs in that class which have FDA approval for heart failure and have shown some efficacy, coreg and Toprol XL. So in order to replace the coreg, she would be put on another drug in the same class, she is probably on drugs from other classes which have shown to improve survival in heart failure patients.
However, if your mother has had so many problems with beta blockers in the past (I have to admit though, those are not common side effects, it's hard to imagine it's from the coreg) then possibly it may be best to stop them altogether, there are many other drugs that heart failure patients get put on, beta blockers are only one piece of the puzzle.
