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.

Hypertension:
Treatment of hypertension.
Heart failure:
Treatment of symptomatic heart failure.
Stable coronary artery disease:
Reduction of risk of cardiac events in patients with a history of
myocardial infarction and/or revascularisation.
4.2 POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
Posology
The dose should be individualised according to the patient profile
(see section 4.4) and blood pressure response.
- Hypertension:
Coversyl Arginine may be used in monotherapy or in combination with
other classes of antihypertensive therapy (see sections
4.3, 4.4, 4.5 and 5.1).
The recommended starting dose is 5 mg given once dailyin the morning.
Patients with a strongly activated renin-angiotensin-aldosterone
system (in particular, renovascular hypertension, salt and/or
volume depletion, cardiac decompensation or severe hypertension) may
experience an excessive drop in blood pressure
following the initial dose. A starting dose of 2.5 mg is recommended
in such patients and the initiation of treatment should
take place under medical supervision.
The dose may be increased to 10 mg once daily after one month of
treatment.
Symptomatic hypotension may occur following initiation of therapy with
Coversyl Arginine; this is more likely in patients who
are being treated concurrently with diuretics. Caution is therefore
recommended since these patients may be volume and/or
salt depleted.
If possible, the diuretic should be discontinued 2 to 3 days before
