Description
Coversyl 10mg Tablets (perindopril) are used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension) and heart failure. Perindopril is an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor that helps relax blood vessels, making it easier for the heart to pump blood through them. This medication can also reduce the risk of heart attacks and strokes in patients with stable coronary artery disease.
Dosage/Directions: The usual starting dose for hypertension is 4 mg once daily, which may be increased to 8 mg once daily depending on the patient’s response. For heart failure, the starting dose is typically 2 mg once daily, which may be increased to 4 mg once daily. It’s important to take Coversyl at the same time each day, preferably before a meal.
Side Effects: Common side effects include dizziness, headache, cough, and fatigue. Serious side effects can include kidney problems, high potassium levels, and severe allergic reactions such as angioedema (swelling of the face, lips, or throat). If you experience any severe side effects, seek medical attention immediately.
Always follow your healthcare provider’s instructions and consult them if you have any concerns or questions about taking Coversyl Tablets.
