WHAT COVERSYL IS USED FOR
Coversyl 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.
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.
BEFORE YOU USE COVERSYL

tongue
or
throat,
intense
itching or severe skin rashes with
previous ACE inhibitor treatment
or if you or a member of your
family have had these symptoms in
any
other
circumstances
(a
condition called angioedema).
•
if
you
are
more
than
3
months
pregnant. (It is also better to avoid
Coversyl in early pregnancy (see
section
‘Pregnancy

breast-
feeding’),

kidney
problems
and
you
