Coversyl Plus Information

Coversyl Plus (Perindopril/Indapamide) is used to treat mild-to-moderate high blood pressure in adults. Although high blood pressure often has no symptoms, it may lead to complications like strokes, heart attacks, and kidney problems. The active ingredients in Coversyl Plus are Perindopril and Indapamide. Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors like Perindopril work by relaxing the blood vessels so that blood passes through them more easily, lowering blood pressure. Diuretics like Indapamide work by getting rid of excess salt and water to control blood pressure.
