About Coversyl AM 4/5 Tablet

Coversyl AM 4/5 Tablet belongs to the class of 'anti-hypertensive drugs', primarily used to treat hypertension (high blood pressure). Hypertension is a medical condition, in which the blood exerts high pressure (force exerted by circulating blood) against blood vessel's walls. This condition makes the heart work harder in pumping the blood to the whole body. Hypertension can cause severe health complications, including stroke, heart failure, heart attack and kidney failure.

Coversyl AM 4/5 Tablet is a combination of medicine that consists of Amlodipine (calcium channel blocker) and Perindopril (angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor). Amlodipine belongs to the class of 'calcium channel blockers' and is used to treat high blood pressure, Prinzmetal's or variant angina (chest pain) and other conditions caused by coronary artery disease. It relaxes blood vessels, so that blood passes through them easily, thereby lowering the blood pressure. It also improves blood supply to the heart muscle to receive more oxygen and thus preventing chest pain. On the other hand, Perindopril is an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor, it reduces increased blood pressure by blocking a naturally occurring substance known as angiotensin II (that tightens your blood vessels). It relaxes and widens the blood vessels. This lowers your blood pressure and makes it easier for your heart to pump blood around your body. Thus, collectively, both help lower high blood pressure, reducing heart attack or stroke chances.

Take Coversyl AM 4/5 Tablet as prescribed by your doctor. You are advised to take Coversyl AM 4/5 Tablet for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you depending on your medical conditions. You may experience ankle swelling, tiredness, headache, palpitations (irregular heartbeat), sleepiness, the increased potassium level in the blood, cough, flushing (sense of heat in the face, ears, neck, and trunk), Taste change, decreased blood pressure, and upset stomach.

Do not stop taking Coversyl AM 4/5 Tablet without consulting your doctor since it may worsen your condition and increase the risk of future heart problems. If you have angioedema (Painless swelling under the skin), diabetes then inform your doctor immediately. If you have kidney disease, you may not use Coversyl AM 4/5 Tablet with aliskiren (other blood pressure-lowering pills). Reducing the amount of table salt (sodium chloride) in your food. Immediately contact your doctor if you have heart disease, kidney disease, liver disease, and high potassium level in your blood.

Medicinal Benefits

Coversyl AM 4/5 Tablet treats hypertension (high blood pressure) and consists of Amlodipine (calcium channel blocker) and Perindopril (angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor). Amlodipine is a 'calcium channel blocker' and treats high blood pressure, Prinzmetal's or variant angina (chest pain), and other conditions caused by coronary artery disease. It relaxes blood vessels, so that blood passes through them easily, thereby lowering the blood pressure. It also treats chest pain by improving blood supply to the heart muscle to receive more oxygen. Amlodipine also improves a person's tolerance to exercise and keeps the blood pressure at acceptable levels. On the other hand, Perindopril is an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor, it reduces increased blood pressure by blocking a naturally occurring substance known as angiotensin II (that tightens your blood vessels). It relaxes and widens the blood vessels. This lowers your blood pressure and makes it easier for your heart to pump blood around your body. However, Coversyl AM 4/5 Tablet does not cure high blood pressure (hypertension) but does help control it. In addition to this, Coversyl AM 4/5 Tablet also reduces the physical effects of anxiety.

Disease/Condition Glossary

Hypertension: It is a chronic condition when blood pressure is too high. Blood pressure is defined as the amount of blood pumped by the heart and the amount of resistance exerted by the arteries against the blood flow. If the heart pumps more blood, then arteries become narrower, and in turn, blood pressure becomes high. If blood pressure becomes uncontrolled, it may lead to serious heart diseases, including stroke and heart attack. Additionally, high blood pressure can also cause brain damage (stroke), and kidney failure. Blood pressure is expressed as systolic and diastolic pressures. Systolic blood pressure represents the contraction and relaxation of the heart. Diastolic pressure is exerted in the blood vessels when the heart beats and is in the resting state. Ideal blood pressure should be between 90/60mmHg and 120/80mmHg. Hypertension is detected when systolic blood pressure is more than 140mmHg, and diastolic pressure is higher than 90mmHg. Some of the symptoms of hypertension include headache, nosebleed, vomiting, and chest pain.
