Covera-HS is a prescription medication used to treat chest pain, an irregular heartbeat, and high blood pressure. Covera-HS belongs to a group of drugs called calcium channel blockers, which work by relaxing the blood vessels, making it easier for the heart to pump blood.

Covera-HS is available as an extended-release tablet and is usually taken once a day with or without food. 

Common side effects of Covera-HS include constipation, nausea, low blood pressure, and headache. This medication can also cause dizziness. Do not drive or operate heavy machinery until you know how Covera-HS affects you.
