PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Drug Name Coversyl (Perindopril) Drug Uses Coversyl is used for treating high blood pressure. It may also be used to treat other conditions as determined by your doctor. How to use Use Coversyl as directed by your doctor. Check the label on the medicine for exact dosing instructions.
- You may take Coversyl on an empty stomach or with food.
- Take Coversyl regularly to receive the most benefit from it. Taking Coversyl at the same times(s) each day will help you to remember to take it. Continue taking Coversyl even if you feel well.
Drug Class and Mechanism Coversyl is an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor. It works by blocking ACE, an enzyme involved in narrowing blood vessels and causing sodium and fluid retention by the kidneys. This causes blood vessels to relax, allowing blood to flow more freely and at a lower pressure, and increasing the heart's ability to pump blood in some types of heart failure. Missed Dose If you miss a dose of Coversyl and you are using it regularly, use it as soon as possible. Do not use 2 doses at once. Storage Store at the room temperature away from moisture and sunlight. Keep out of reach of children.
