Coversyl Plus Tablet

Coversyl Plus Tablet combines two active ingredients: indapamide and perindopril. Indapamide is a thiazide-like diuretic used to treat hypertension (high blood pressure) by increasing urine production and reducing excess fluid in the body. Perindopril is an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor that works by relaxing blood vessels, thereby lowering blood pressure and improving blood flow to the heart. The combination of these medications helps to control hypertension more effectively.
