About this active substance

Perindopril is an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor used to treat high blood pressure, heart failure, and to reduce the risk of cardiovascular events such as heart attack or stroke. It is a widely prescribed medication.

Perindopril helps relax blood vessels, leading to lower blood pressure and reduced strain on the heart. It is effective in preventing cardiovascular complications in patients with stable coronary artery disease and those with diabetes.

In the treatment of high blood pressure, perindopril is often used alone or in combination with other antihypertensive medications. It is well-tolerated but may cause side effects such as dry cough, dizziness, or, rarely, allergic reactions.

Perindopril is also used to improve heart function in patients with heart failure, reducing symptoms and the risk of hospitalization. It is important for patients to follow their doctor’s recommendations closely to achieve the best outcomes.
