About this active substance

This combination of perindopril, indapamide, and amlodipine is used to treat essential hypertension (high blood pressure) in patients requiring combination therapy. It is an effective option for lowering blood pressure and preventing cardiovascular complications such as heart attack or stroke.

Perindopril is an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor that relaxes blood vessels and lowers blood pressure. Indapamide is a thiazide diuretic that helps eliminate excess salt and water from the body, reducing blood volume and blood pressure. Amlodipine is a calcium channel blocker that relaxes the muscles of blood vessels, improving blood flow.

This combination is recommended for patients who cannot control their blood pressure with a single medication or a combination of two drugs. Through the synergistic action of the three components, the treatment provides better blood pressure control and reduces the risk of cardiovascular complications.

Side effects may include dizziness, headache, swelling (especially in the ankles), nausea, fatigue, or muscle cramps. In rare cases, allergic reactions, severe hypotension, or kidney problems may occur. Regular medical monitoring is essential to adjust the treatment if necessary.

Patients should strictly follow their doctor’s instructions regarding dosage and avoid excessive salt or alcohol consumption. It is also recommended to inform the doctor about other medications being taken or pre-existing conditions, such as kidney or liver impairment.
