Perindopril
Perindopril tablets are an effective medication used primarily for managing high blood pressure. As an ACE inhibitor, Perindopril works by relaxing blood vessels, allowing blood to flow more easily and reducing blood pressure. This medication is beneficial in improving cardiovascular health and can also be used in the treatment of heart failure. It supports the heart's efficiency in pumping blood, which is crucial for preventing complications associated with hypertension. Perindopril is typically taken once a day, and its dosage may be adjusted based on individual health needs and responses. Regular monitoring of blood pressure while on Perindopril is advised to ensure optimal results.Active substance:
