Perindopril Erbumine
About Perindopril Erbumine
Perindopril Erbumine is an anti-hypertensive medication primarily used to treat high blood pressure and heart failure. It is also used to reduce the risk of cardiac events like a heart attack in patients with coronary artery disease and who have had a heart attack and/or surgery to improve the blood supply to the heart. Hypertension (High blood pressure) is a condition in which the force exerted by the blood against the artery walls becomes so high that it causes health problems, such as heart disease.
Perindopril Erbumine contains Perindopril erbumine, an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor; it reduces increased blood pressure by blocking a naturally occurring substance known as angiotensin II (that tightens your blood vessels). Perindopril Erbumine relaxes and widens the blood vessels, thereby lowering the blood pressure and making it easier for the heart to pump blood throughout the body.
Take Perindopril Erbumine as prescribed. Your doctor will advise you on the dosage and duration based on your medical condition. In some cases, you may experience dizziness, headache, weakness, vomiting, and nausea. Most of these side effects of Perindopril Erbumine do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects are persistent, reach out to your doctor.
Try not to stop taking this medicine on your own, even if your blood pressure becomes normal; doing so may worsen your condition. Avoid taking Perindopril Erbumine if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Perindopril Erbumine is not recommended for children below 18years. Perindopril Erbumine may cause dizziness and weakness, so drive or operate machinery only if you are alert. Keep your doctor informed about your health condition and medications to rule out any interactions.

Disease/Condition Glossary
Hypertension: It is a chronic condition in which the blood exerts increased pressure on the artery walls. This condition can lead to hardened arteries (blood vessels), decreasing the blood and oxygen flow to the heart. High blood pressure (hypertension) can cause chest pain (angina) and heart attack (when blood supply to the heart is blocked), brain damage (stroke), and kidney failure. High blood pressure can be diagnosed with the help of a blood pressure monitor or sphygmomanometer. Ideal blood pressure should be between 90/60 mm of Hg and 120/80 mm of Hg.

It is advised to continue taking Perindopril Erbumine even after your blood pressure is under control or becomes normal as blood pressure can shoot up at any time. If you have any discomfort, please consult your doctor immediately.
Perindopril Erbumine might alter potassium levels. Therefore inform your doctor if you are taking food rich in potassium, potassium-containing salt substitutes or over-the-counter potassium supplements.
Light-headedness could be a side-effect of Perindopril Erbumine. It occurs due to low blood pressure leading to dizziness on standing. If you experience this, do not try to stand up suddenly or start walking, instead lie down and get up slowly only when you feel better. People taking Perindopril Erbumine are advised to regularly monitor their blood pressure levels to avoid unpleasant events.
Inform your doctor if you are diabetic as Perindopril Erbumine may cause hypoglycaemia (low blood glucose levels). Regular monitoring of blood sugar levels is advised.
