How do I take Coreg?

Coreg is a prescription medication that is taken orally, with food, once or twice a day depending on the dosage and formulation. The normal Coreg starting dosage is 3.125 mg twice a day for two weeks. Your dose will then be slowly increased. Coreg dosage will greatly depend on the individual and the doctor’s recommendation. If you are taking the Coreg tablet, take it whole with water or other approved liquid; do not divide a tablet into smaller doses, without permission from your doctor. Take the medication at the same time every day to establish a routine. Do not increase or decrease the dosage without your doctor’s permission.

What if I forget to take a dose of Coreg?

If you missed your scheduled Coreg dosage, take it as soon as you remember and when you are able. However, if it is close to the time for your next scheduled dose, forego the missed one and resume the normal dosing schedule; your doctor will explain what an acceptable time interval is. Do not take multiple doses of this medication to make up for the one that was missed.
