COVERSYL 2MG TABLET contains Perindopril which belongs to the group of medicines called Angiotensin Converting Enzyme Inhibitors. It is used to manage hypertension in adults. Hypertension is a condition in which the force of the blood against blood vessel walls is too high. Symptoms of hypertension includes early morning headaches, irregular heartbeat, vision changes, feeling overtiredness, vomiting, confusion, anxiety, and chest pain. It is also used to manage heart failure (a condition where the pumping of heart is inadequate to meet body's need which is characterized by shortness of breath, fatigue, fast heartbeat.). It also reduces 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 resulting in pain or discomfort in chest, arms or shoulders; weakness, light-headedness and feeling sick), in patients who have the history of heart attack and/or an operation to improve blood supply to heart.

Perindopril works by inhibiting the activity of an enzyme called angiotensin converting enzyme (an enzyme which is responsible for causing constriction of blood vessels), resulting in easy flow of blood around the body. Your doctor may check your kidney function, blood pressure, and the amount of electrolytes (Ex. potassium) in your body prior to the management or at regular intervals along with the management.
