WHAT COVERSYL ARGININE IS AND WHAT IT IS
USED FOR
Coversyl Arginine is an angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE)
inhibitor. These work by widening the blood vessels, which
makes it easier for your heart to pump blood through them.
Coversyl Arginine is used:

to treat _HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE_ (hypertension),

to treat _HEART FAILURE_ (a condition where the heart is
unable to pump enough blood to meet the body's
needs),

to reduce the risk of cardiac events, such as heart
attack, in patients with _STABLE CORONARY ARTERY _
_DISEASE_ (a condition where the blood supply to the
heart is reduced or blocked) and who have already had
a heart attack and/or an operation to improve the blood
supply to the heart by widening the vessels that supply
it.
