Low dose thus far: The 2-4mg coversyl is relatively low dosing for hypertension and so it seems your physician is going for a gradual build-up. Don't be surprised if a second blood pressure medication is added. Blood pressure control can be accomplished somewhat gradually (ok unless you're having symptoms or adverse effects and immediate control is needed).
