General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hello,

Both Coversyl and Zircol are antihypertensives which act in a different manner to control blood pressure. The addition of Zircol adds up to lowering your blood pressure together with Coversyl.

They don't usually have any drug interaction as they are usually used as combination for hypertension which is not or is partially responsive to a singe medication.

I recommend frequent follow-ups for dose adjustments, together with low salt and fat diet, as well as a regular exercise routine for better blood pressure control.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Daryl Derick B. Dizon, General & Family Physician
