When Will The Coversyl Benefits Be Visible?
My 77 year old mother Height 5 ft, weight 150 lbs) has been on Coversyl 4mg/day for four weeks. Her doctor increased the medication to 8 mg/day, four days ago. Togther with Coversyl, she also takes half a tablet of Metoprolol. Latest blood tests show that cholesterol is slightly high, she has protein in urine and blood in urine. Her blood pressure is presently 185/87 and sometimes 187/90 with heartbeat of 67 or 57. When should we see the beneficial effects of the Coversyl 8 mg ?

Hello,
Effects of coversyl may be observed from the first day the patient starts to take, but we see the maximum effect in two weeks. So if there is still high blood pressure in two weeks we add another medication or change it.
Take care
