What is Perindopril?
Perindopril is a member of the Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme (ACE) inhibitors' family, which plays a crucial role in treating high blood pressure and heart failure. By acting on your body's renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system, it not only lowers blood pressure but also enhances heart performance, particularly after a heart attack.
How Does Perindopril Work?
The secret behind Perindopril's efficacy lies in its mechanism of action. It inhibits the ACE, a critical substance responsible for tightening blood vessels and increasing blood pressure. By blocking this enzyme, Perindopril relaxes your blood vessels, facilitating smoother blood flow and decreasing overall blood pressure.
Dosage and Administration:
Perindopril's typical starting dose is 4mg once daily, preferably taken in the morning before a meal.
Depending on your response and condition, your doctor might adjust the dose.
Always follow your doctor's instructions on dosage and duration.
Common Uses of Perindopril:
Lowering high blood pressure (hypertension).
Treating heart failure.
Preventing stroke, heart attack, or cardiac events, especially in patients with coronary artery disease.
Benefits:
Helps control blood pressure.
Reduces the risk of future heart-related events.
Alleviates symptoms of heart failure.
Possible Side Effects:
No medication is without side effects, and Perindopril is no exception. While most people tolerate it well, some common side effects might include dizziness, lightheadedness, dry cough, or fatigue. Severe side effects are rare but may include swelling of the face, lips, mouth, or throat, severe dizziness or fainting, and kidney problems. If any of these occur, it's imperative to seek medical attention immediately.
