Perindopril Tablets (2mg, 4mg, 8mg)

Perindopril tablets belong to a type of medication known as ACE Inhibitors. ACE stands for Angiotensin Converting Enzyme. ACE Inhibitors are so-called because they inhibit the enzyme that controls hormones relating to blood pressure. This means that Perindopril tablets relax and widen the blood vessels, making it easier for blood to flow through the body whilst reducing blood pressure.

We advise that our patients consult with either their doctor or prescriber before they buy or use Perindopril tablets.

If you buy Perindopril tablets for high blood pressure they should be taken once daily with a glass of water, preferably at the same time each day.
