What is Coveram Plus 5mg/1.25mg/5mg?
Coveram Plus 5mg/1.25mg/5mg is a fixed-dose triple-combination medication manufactured by Servier. It is specifically designed for adults with essential hypertension (high blood pressure). This "3-in-1" pill simplifies treatment for patients who are already taking perindopril/indapamide and amlodipine as separate tablets.
Key Benefits of Triple Therapy
Coveram Plus combines three active ingredients that work in different ways to control your blood pressure:
- Perindopril Arginine (5mg): An ACE inhibitor that relaxes blood vessels.
- Indapamide (1.25mg): A diuretic (water pill) that helps the kidneys remove excess fluid.
- Amlodipine (5mg): A calcium channel blocker that prevents blood vessels from tightening.
By combining these, Coveram Plus provides effective blood pressure control and reduces the number of pills you need to take daily, making it easier to stay on track with your heart health.
How to Take Coveram Plus
For the best results, take one tablet of Coveram Plus daily, preferably in the morning before a meal. It is important to take it at the same time every day to maintain a steady level in your blood. Always follow the specific instructions provided by your doctor or GoMed pharmacist.
Precautions and Safety
Coveram Plus is a prescription-only medicine. Before starting this medication, inform your healthcare provider if you:
- Have kidney or liver problems.
- Are pregnant or planning to become pregnant.
- Are taking other medications for heart disease or diabetes.
Regular blood pressure monitoring is recommended while using this medication. If you experience any unusual side effects like swelling of the face or persistent cough, contact your doctor immediately.
