WHAT COVERSYL IS USED FOR
Coversyl is used:
•
to
treat
_high _
_blood _
_pressure_
(hypertension),
•
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.
HOW COVERSYL WORKS
Coversyl 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.

Reduction of risk of cardiac events in patients with a history of myocardial infarction and/or

4.2 Posology and method of administration
Posology
The dose should be i ndividualised according to the patient profile (see section 4.4) and blood pressure
response.
Hypertension
Coversyl 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 recom mended starting dose is 5 mg given once daily in 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) ma y
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 p lace under medical supervision.
The dose may be increased to 10 mg once dail y after one month of treatment.
Symptomatic hypotension may occur following initiation of therapy with Coversyl ; 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.
