Coversyl-AM 4mg/5mg Tablet
Description
Coversyl-AM 4/5 Tablet is a medicine used to treat high blood pressure. It contains two active medicines, perindopril and amlodipine, which work together to relax and widen the blood vessels. This helps blood flow more easily and lowers blood pressure, reducing strain on the heart and blood vessels.
This medicine is usually prescribed when blood pressure is not adequately controlled with a single medicine. Even if you feel normal, it is important to continue taking Coversyl-AM 4/5 Tablet regularly, as high blood pressure often does not cause noticeable symptoms. Stopping the medicine suddenly may cause your blood pressure to rise again.
Coversyl-AM 4/5 Tablet should be taken exactly as advised by your doctor, preferably at the same time every day. Some people may experience side effects such as dizziness, headache, cough, or swelling of the feet or ankles, especially at the beginning of treatment. Getting up slowly from sitting or lying positions can help reduce dizziness.
This medicine should not be used during pregnancy or while breastfeeding. Inform your doctor if you have kidney disease, diabetes, heart problems, or are taking other medicines, especially diuretics or potassium supplements. Regular follow-up and blood pressure monitoring are important to ensure safe and effective treatment.
