Perindopril medication is an ACE Inhibitor. ACE Inhibitors are a type of medication that work by relaxing the blood vessels in turn reducing the resistance the heart has to pump against and in turn workload on the heart.
Perindopril may be prescribed by a clinician for several cardiovascular conditions, most commonly for Hypertension (high blood pressure), heart failure or prophylaxis of a cardiac event.
Perindopril is available in two forms. Perindopril Arginine and Perindopril Erbumine. Both medications contain the same active ingredient and work in similar ways, however the Perindopril Arginine formulation is more stable in extreme heat. This is not necessarily relevant in the United Kingdom hence Perindopril Erbumine is more commonly prescribed. Perindopril Erbumine is also cheaper to prescribe.
Perindopril is a highly effective drug with a strong evidence base from clinical trials. Perindopril can dramatically improve quality of life and management of the condition for patients with compromised cardiovascular health.

Perindopril is a medicine that belongs to a group called ACE inhibitors (Angiotensin Converting Enzyme inhibitors), used to treat high blood pressure and heart failure.
Perindopril works by relaxing the blood vessels, allowing blood to pass through them more easily. It also helps to make it easier for your heart to pump blood to all the parts of your body.
High blood pressure (also known as hypertension) or heart problems can be linked to a number of factors, such as a family history, a diet high in salt or being overweight or inactive.
In addition to some lifestyle changes (such as smoking and/or drinking less and exercising more), it’s often advised to take medication, such as Perindopril, to manage the conditions in order to prevent more serious ailments such as stroke, heart attack or blood clots.
Perindopril is a prescription-only medicine. Always follow the advice of your doctor and read the patient information leaflet provided in the medication packet.
Take the tablets by swallowing whole with a drink of water, ideally before a meal. You should take it at the same time of day, in order to help you remember.
Perindopril contains the active ingredient Perindopril arginine, in strengths of either 2mg, 4mg, and 8mg per tablet.
For high blood pressure, the usual starting dose is 4mg taken once a day, with the amount often rising to 8mg once a day, if your doctor feels that you need it. If you are using Perindopril for heart failure or other heart problems, then this dose will differ and you should always take the medication exactly as prescribed and check with your doctor if you’re unsure.
If you forget to take your Perindopril tablet then you should skip the forgotten dose and move straight onto the next one. Don’t worry but don’t double up on your dose to make up for a missed one.
If you take more Perindopril than you should, then go to your nearest doctor or emergency department immediately. Overdose can lead to low blood pressure, symptoms of which include feeling dizzy or faint.
