What Causes Tiredness, Muscle Pain And Nausea After Having Coversyl?

I have been put on coversyl 4mg about a week. I am having side effects that are affecting my every day life - i.e. tired all the time; muscle aches; nausea; light headness; stomach cramps; my sugars are at 5.4 as of 3 pm, lower than normal. The Dr and Pharmacist say not to stop this medication. Why?

Hello
As you mentioned in the query that your doctor prescribe coversyl 4 mg i.e. perindopril .
However, you didn't mention the name of the disease for which this drug advised .
Usually this is indicated for hypertension and congestive heart failure ( CHF).
You are feeling tiredness, nausea, lightheaded stomach ,as all these are most common side effects of coversyl but need not to worry .
Since you are taking this drug for 7 days( week ) , so it will adjust in your body after 15 days ( approximately ) .
Low sugar level is not a cause of concern because coversyl never decreases blood sugar level and this will maintained withing time by homoestasis .
The important point is the treatment for this drug advised . When such patient visit I advise my patient to take a combination of rabeprazole+aceclofenac ( until and unless contraindicated ) .
So this is a prescription medicine , consult your treating physician and take a prescription and you will get relief in all these symptoms , as mentioned in the query.
Hope this will be useful for you.
Good luck.
