Is Coversyl from SGMeds the original brand?
No. SGMeds ships a generic with the same active ingredient (perindopril) at the same strength, not the original Coversyl made by Servier. We use the brand name so you can find the medicine, and the generic's manufacturer varies with stock.

Coversyl is used for high blood pressure (hypertension), heart failure and stable coronary artery disease.
How much does Coversyl cost in Singapore?
Coversyl comes in a 4mg strength, in packs of 10 to 90 tablets. Each option's price is shown on this page in Singapore dollars, converted from US dollars, so the exchange rate can change the final amount. Larger packs work out cheaper per tablet.
