Description:
Coversyl Plus is a combination medication containing Perindopril and Indapamide, designed for the management of high blood pressure (hypertension).
-
Perindopril (an ACE inhibitor) relaxes blood vessels, reducing strain on the heart and lowering blood pressure.
-
Indapamide (a thiazide-like diuretic) helps remove excess salt and water from the body, further supporting blood pressure control.
Regular use helps reduce the risk of stroke, heart attack, and kidney complications associated with high blood pressure.
