Uses of Cova-H 12.5 mg / 80 mg Tablet

Cova-H 12.5 mg / 80 mg Tablet is a combination tablet for high blood pressure that has not been controlled well enough with valsartan or hydrochlorothiazide alone. Bringing blood pressure down to target matters even if you feel well, because untreated high blood pressure gradually damages the heart, brain, kidneys and eyes and increases the chance of stroke and heart attack.

How Cova-H 12.5 mg / 80 mg Tablet works

Valsartan stops angiotensin II, a hormone that tightens blood vessels, from acting on them, so they relax and blood flows more easily. Hydrochlorothiazide acts on the kidneys to flush out excess salt and water. Combining the two gives a stronger, steadier fall in blood pressure.
