About Coversyl 2 mg Tablet

Coversyl 2 mg Tablet is used to treat high blood pressure and heart failure. It is also used to reduce the risk of cardiac events like a heart attack in patients with coronary artery disease and who have had a heart attack and/or surgery to improve the blood supply to the heart. Hypertension (High blood pressure) is a condition in which the force exerted by the blood against the artery walls becomes so high that it causes health problems, such as heart disease.

Coversyl 2 mg Tablet contains Perindopril erbumine, an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor; it reduces increased blood pressure by blocking a naturally occurring substance known as angiotensin II (that tightens your blood vessels). Coversyl 2 mg Tablet relaxes and widens the blood vessels, thereby lowering the blood pressure and making it easier for the heart to pump blood throughout the body. 

Take Coversyl 2 mg Tablet as prescribed. Your doctor will advise you on the dosage and duration based on your medical condition. In some cases, you may experience dizziness, headache, weakness, vomiting, and nausea. Most of these side effects of Coversyl 2 mg Tablet do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects are persistent, reach out to your doctor.

Try not to stop taking this medicine on your own, even if your blood pressure becomes normal; doing so may worsen your condition.
