1) WHAT COVERSYL ARGININE PLUS 5MG / 1.25MG IS AND
WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Coversyl Arginine Plus 5mg / 1.25mg is a combination of two active
ingredients, perindopril and indapamide. It is an anti-hypertensive
and is
used in the treatment of high blood pressure (hypertension) in adults.
Perindopril belongs to a class of medicines called ACE inhibitors.
These
work by widening the blood vessels, which makes it easier for your
heart
to pump blood through them. Indapamide is a diuretic. Diuretics
increase
the amount of urine produced by the kidneys.
However, indapamide is different from other diuretics, as it only
causes a
slight increase in the amount of urine produced. Each of the active
ingredients reduces blood pressure and they work together to control
your blood pressure.
