About the product

Perindopril is a medicine that belongs to a class of medications known as Angiotensin Converting Enzyme (ACE) inhibitor. Amlodipine belongs to a class of medicines known as "Calcium Channel Blockers". One tablet of this product replaces two separate products of Perindopril and Amlodipine. This combination of active ingredients acts by widening the blood vessels, making it easier for your heart to pump blood through them. This medicine is used for the following indications: to treat hypertension (high blood pressure), and to decrease the risk of cardiac events like a heart attack in patients with coronary artery disease.


How to use?

Recommended starting dose must always be 2.5 mg of perindopril arginine and 2.5 mg of amlodipine taken as separate tablets in elderly patients. Usual recommended dose is 1 tablet orally once daily. Do not eat or drink any grapefruit-containing products when taking this medicine. Grapefruit may increase the concentration of amlodipine in your blood which may lead to excessive drop in your blood pressure. Take the tablet at the same time every day, unless prescribed differently by your doctor. Take the tablet before food in the morning. Swallow the tablet with a full glass of water.
