Description
Perindopril/Amlodipine is a combination medication used for the treatment of hypertension (high blood pressure) and to reduce the risk of cardiac events, such as heart attack, in patients with coronary artery disease. It combines the effects of an angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor (Perindopril) and a calcium channel blocker (Amlodipine) to widen the blood vessels and make it easier for the heart to pump blood. It is essential not to take this medication if you have allergies to any of its components, have a history of angioedema, are pregnant, have certain heart conditions, or are on specific medications like sacubitril/valsartan.
The medicine comes with certain warnings and precautions, and it’s important to consult your doctor before starting this medication if you have specific health conditions, such as liver or kidney problems, diabetes, heart issues, or if you are undergoing certain treatments.
Possible side effects may include allergic reactions, dizziness, headaches, swelling, chest pain, changes in heart rate, fatigue, and more. It’s important not to share this medicine with others and to follow the doctor’s instructions.
To take Perindopril/Amlodipine, adults typically take one tablet orally once daily, while the use of this medicine is not recommended for children. Elderly patients may start with a lower dose. It’s crucial to avoid eating grapefruit products while taking this medication, as they can affect the concentration of Amlodipine in the blood.
When storing the medication, keep it in a cool, dry place away from light, and ensure it is not accessible to children or pets. Do not use it beyond the expiry date mentioned on the box and avoid disposing of it in wastewater or household waste.
