Sheryl Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Best for her to ask her doctor if 5 mg would be OK as there is no way to get a precise 4mg dose from a 5 or 10 mg tablet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I took Coversyl while working in Kuwait,initially only 4 mg was available,then only 5 mg then only 8 mg and finally 10 mg was the only dose available in Kuwait. When I left Kuwait I was taking 10 mg, no ill effects. In my opinion the mfg is not going to increase dosage unless it was pretty safe to do so.

PMNL Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 As far as I recall they have changed the molecules attached to the active meds from something else to arginine which give them the equivalent of the previous 4 mg equal to the new 5 coversyl arginine. Your local chemist should be able to tell you this though. Sent from my iPhone using Thaivisa Connect Thailand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
