Perineva is a medication primarily used to treat hypertension, helping to lower high blood pressure and reduce the risk of associated complications. The active ingredient, Perindopril, is an ACE inhibitor that works by relaxing blood vessels, allowing blood to flow more easily. This aids in the prevention of strokes, heart attacks, and kidney problems. Perineva is also beneficial for patients with heart failure and can improve survival rates and reduce symptoms. It is generally taken once daily, with or without food, depending on the doctor's recommendations. Regular monitoring of blood pressure is advised to ensure optimal results. Always adhere to the prescribed dosage to maintain efficacy.
