Coversyl AM 4/5 Tablet is taken orally.

Coversyl AM 4/5 Tablet contains two active ingredients:

• Amlodipine (5 mg): This ingredient acts by blocking the movement of calcium into certain muscles in your body, specifically your heart and the walls of your blood vessels. By doing so, it helps these muscles relax and widen, effectively lowering high blood pressure.

• Perindopril (4 mg): This component works by inhibiting an enzyme called angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) in your body. ACE converts a substance called angiotensin I into another compound called angiotensin II, which narrows your blood vessels and releases hormones that can raise your blood pressure. By limiting ACE's activity, perindopril lowers blood pressure by widening blood vessels and reducing the amount of water put back into your blood by your kidneys.

• Store Coversyl AM 4/5 Tablet in a tightly closed container.

• Keep it at room temperature.

• Protect the medication from light and moisture to maintain its effectiveness.

• Always keep this medicine out of reach of children.

• Check the expiry date before use and never use the medicine past this date.

• High sodium intake can increase blood pressure. Try to limit your daily salt intake to less than 6g for better management of hypertension.

• Engaging in moderate physical activity, such as walking or cycling for at least 30 minutes a day, can help lower high blood pressure. However, always consult your doctor before starting any new exercise regimen.
