COVERSYL PLUS HD 8MG/2.5MG (30 TABS)
Generic Name: perindopril - indapamide
Brand Name: Coversyl Plus HD
Drug class: Angiotensin Converting Enzyme Inhibitors
Coversyl and its generic perindopril is available in strengths of: 2mg, 4mg, 8mg, Plus, Plus LD, and Plus HD.
Coversyl Plus HD is a combination of two medications (perindopril and indapamide) used to treat adults with mild-to-moderate high blood pressure. High blood pressure adds to the workload of the heart and arteries. If the additional workload is untreated or left unmanaged, the heart and arteries may not function properly. This can damage the blood vessels of the brain, heart, and kidneys, resulting in a stroke, heart or kidney failure.
Perindopril belongs to the class of medications called angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors. It works by relaxing blood vessels and helping the heart to pump blood that carries oxygen to the different parts of the body more efficiently. Indapamide belongs to the class of medications called diuretics or "water pills," which help control blood pressure by getting rid of excess salt and water.
This medication should not be given to anyone who is in a coma due to reduced liver function.
This combination medication is used to make dosing more convenient for people who need to take both of these medications (perindopril and indapamide). The dose of the combination medication depends on the doses of the individual medications the person needs.
The usual recommended dose of this medication is one tablet taken once a day, preferably in the morning before a meal.
Many things can affect the dose of medication that a person needs, such as body weight, other medical conditions, and other medications. If your doctor has recommended a dose different from the ones listed here, do not change the way that you are taking the medication without consulting your doctor.
It is important that this medication be taken exactly as prescribed by your doctor. If you miss a dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular dosing schedule. Do not take a double dose to make up for a missed one. If you are not sure what to do after missing a dose, contact your doctor or pharmacist for advice.
Store this medication at room temperature and keep it out of the reach of children. Do not dispose of medications in wastewater (e.g. down the sink or in the toilet) or in household garbage. Ask your pharmacist how to dispose of medications that are no longer needed or have expired.

CRESTOR 40MG BLSPK (30 TABLETS)
Generic Name: rosuvastatin
Brand Name: Crestor
Drug class: HMG-CoA Reductase Inhibitors, Lipid-Lowering Agents, Statins
WHAT IS THE DOSAGE OF THIS MEDICATION?
Crestor and its generic rosuvastatin is available in the strength of 5 mg, 10 mg, 20 mg, and 40 mg tablets.
WHAT IS THIS MEDICATION USED FOR?
Rosuvastatin belongs to the group of medications known as HMG CoA reductase inhibitors ("statins"). It is used, along with a healthy diet and exercise program, to improve cholesterol levels by decreasing low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol ('bad cholesterol') and triglycerides in the blood, and increasing high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol ('good cholesterol') in the blood. It is also used to treat people who have certain inherited cholesterol disorders.
Rosuvastatin works by blocking the enzyme that helps make cholesterol in the body. People with high blood cholesterol levels have a higher risk of heart diseases such as heart attacks. When cholesterol levels are lowered with a combination of medication, diet, and exercise, the risk of heart disease is lowered. It takes 2 to 4 weeks to see the maximum effect of this medication on cholesterol levels in blood tests.
It can also be used to reduce the risk of heart attacks, stroke, and angioplasty for people who have at least 2 risk factors for cardiovascular disease.
Before starting rosuvastatin, you should be following a cholesterol-lowering diet. If appropriate, a program of weight control and physical exercise should also be implemented.
The recommended dose of rosuvastatin ranges between 5 mg and 40 mg once daily. For most people, the usual recommended starting dose of rosuvastatin is 10 mg once daily. If necessary, the dose may be increased to a maximum of 40 mg daily. People who require the maximum dose of 40 mg per day should consult a specialist.
For children 10 to 17 years of age, who have inherited cholesterol disorders, the recommended starting dose is 5 mg taken once daily. Your doctor may increase this dose to a maximum of 10 mg daily, depending on the effectiveness of the medication and how well it is tolerated.
For people with severely reduced liver function, the maximum daily dose is 20 mg.
For people with severely reduced kidney function, the starting dose should be 5 mg daily and the maximum daily dose is 10 mg.
A starting dose of 5 mg daily is recommended for people of Asian descent (Chinese, Filipino, Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese, or Asian-Indian origin) and those who have severe kidney problems. This low dose should also be considered for people who do not need aggressive cholesterol-lowering effects and for people who may be at a greater risk of experiencing muscle-related problems.
Many things can affect the dose of medication that a person needs, such as body weight, other medical conditions, and other medications. If your doctor has recommended a dose different from the ones listed here, do not change the way that you are taking the medication without consulting your doctor.
Rosuvastatin may be taken in the morning or in the evening, with or without food.
It is very important that this medication be taken exactly as prescribed by your doctor. If you miss a dose, take it as soon as possible and continue with your regular schedule. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and carry on with your regular dosing schedule. Do not take a double dose to make up for a missed one. If you are not sure what to do after missing a dose, contact your doctor or pharmacist for advice.
Store this medication at room temperature, protect it from light and moisture, and keep it out of the reach of children. Do not dispose of medications in wastewater (e.g. down the sink or in the toilet) or in household garbage. Ask your pharmacist how to dispose of medications that are no longer needed or have expired.
