Coversyl Arginine Plus is used to treat high blood pressure. The medicine lowers the blood pressure when a singular treatment has not worked to treat the condition.
Coversyl Arginine Plus combines two active ingredients, perindopril and indapamide, which are both used on their own to treat high blood pressure. Perindopril works by relaxing the blood vessels so that they are able to widen and allow blood to flow more freely. Known as an ACE inhibitor, perindopril halts the production of angiotensin II in the body, a chemical which narrows the blood vessels and causes the body to retain water. Both of these effects can heighten the blood pressure. Indapamide is a diuretic which increases the amount of salts which are filtered through the kidneys to leave the body through urine. The dose contained in Coversyl Arginine Plus helps the blood vessels to widen.
The active ingredients contain within Coversyl Arginine Plus are perindopril arginine and indapamide.
The other ingredients contained within the tablets are: lactose, magnesium stearate, maltodextrin, anhydrous colloidal silica, sodium starch glycolate.
Always follow your doctor's instructions on how to take Coversyl Arginine Plus. It's usually taken in the morning between half an hour to an hour before eating and one tablet should be taken each day. If you forget to take it, then just take your tablet as soon as you remember. If it's the next day then just skip the missed dose, don't double up and take two at once.
The dosage prescribed will depend on a variety of factors such as the severity of your symptoms, age and medical history. You should always take the dose that your doctor has prescribed you.

Coversyl Arginine Plus is the only medicine available in the UK which contains both perindipril and indapamide. If you are being prescribed Coversyl Arginine Plus then it's likely that you need more than one type of medicine in order to control your blood pressure.
Coversyl Arginine Plus differs from other ACE inhibitors as it's a combination medicine. It combines both an ACE inhibitor and a diuretic which work together to relax the blood vessels to allow the blood to flow more freely. This means that the medicine is stronger than a regular ACE inhibitor and is usually only prescribed after your first type of medication has not worked for you.
Perindopril can be prescribed on its own to treat high blood pressure. As an ACE inhibitor, it's a common type of medication used to manage the condition. The key difference between Perindopril and Coversyl is that Coversyl Arginine Plus contains two types of medicines which both work together to ease the blood pressure. This means the medicine has a stronger effect, making it a suitable option if you have already tried perindopril but it hasn't worked for you.
Coversyl Arginine is designed to lower your blood pressure to a healthy level. If this happens then this means that the medication is working but that does not mean you should stop taking it. On the contrary, you should continue to take it to maintain your blood pressure otherwise it's likely to rise again.
If you are scheduled to have surgery then your doctor may ask you to stop taking Coversyl Arginine before your surgery. It's important that you inform them of any medications you are taking so that they can advise you accordingly.
Coversyl Arginine Plus is not known to be addictive.
