What is coversyl?

Coversyl is a brand name for the medication perindopril, which belongs to a class of drugs called ACE inhibitors. It is used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension) and to prevent heart attacks, strokes, and other cardiovascular events in patients with a history of cardiovascular disease.

Coversyl works by relaxing blood vessels, which helps to lower blood pressure and improve blood flow throughout the body. It is typically taken once daily, with or without food, and dosage can vary based on the patient’s individual needs.

Some common side effects of Coversyl include dizziness, headache, cough, fatigue, and nausea. More serious side effects may occur, such as swelling of the throat, tongue, or face, difficulty breathing, or rapid heartbeat, and medical attention should be sought immediately if these occur.

Coversyl may interact with other medications, so patients should inform their healthcare provider of all other medications they are taking before starting this medication. It is important to take Coversyl as prescribed and to follow up with healthcare provider regularly to monitor blood pressure and ensure that the medication is working properly.
