WHAT COVERSYL IS
The name of your medicine is
Coversyl. The medicine contains the
active ingredient perindopril
erbumine. Perindopril belongs to a
group of medicines called
angiotensin converting enzyme
(ACE) inhibitors.
WHAT COVERSYL IS
USED FOR
Coversyl is available only with a
doctor's prescription.
Coversyl lowers high blood pressure,
a condition which doctors call
hypertension.
Everyone has blood pressure. This
pressure helps get your blood all
around the body. Your blood
pressure may be different at different
times of the day, depending on how
busy or worried you are. You have
high blood pressure when your blood
pressure stays higher than is needed,
even when you are calm or relaxed.
There are usually no symptoms of
high blood pressure. The only way of
knowing that you have it is to have
your blood pressure checked on a
regular basis. If high blood pressure
is not treated it can lead to serious
health problems. You may feel fine
and have no symptoms, but
eventually it can cause stroke, heart
disease and kidney failure. Coversyl
helps lower your blood pressure.
You may be prescribed Coversyl for
heart failure. Heart failure means that
the heart muscle cannot pump blood
strongly enough to supply all the
blood needed throughout the body.
