What is Perindopril and what is it used for:
Perindopril, sold under the brand name Aceon, is an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor medication. It works by relaxing blood vessels, making it easier for the heart to pump blood and reducing the workload on the heart. It is primarily used to treat high blood pressure and to improve survival after a heart attack.

How to take Perindopril:
Perindopril is taken orally, usually once daily, with or without food. The dosage and duration of treatment will depend on the individual’s condition and response to treatment. It may take several weeks for the full benefits of the medication to be felt. Do not stop taking this medication without consulting your doctor.

Possible side effects of Perindopril:
Perindopril may cause some side effects, including:

Dizziness or lightheadedness
Dry cough
Fatigue
Headache
Nausea or vomiting
Diarrhea or constipation
Muscle cramps or weakness
Skin rash or itching
If any of these side effects persist or worsen, inform your doctor immediately. Seek emergency medical attention if you experience any signs of an allergic reaction, such as hives, difficulty breathing, or swelling of the face, lips, tongue, or throat.

Precautions and warnings for Perindopril:
Before taking Perindopril, inform your doctor if you have any medical conditions, such as kidney disease, liver disease, or diabetes. Perindopril may interact with certain medications, including other blood pressure medications and diuretics. It is important to inform your doctor of all medications and supplements you are taking.

Perindopril may cause low blood pressure, especially in patients who are dehydrated or have low salt levels. It may also cause an increase in potassium levels, which can be dangerous in patients with kidney problems. Close monitoring by a healthcare provider is essential during the first few months of treatment or after a change in dosage.

Perindopril is not recommended during pregnancy unless the benefits outweigh the risks. It may also pass into breast milk, so it is important to consult your doctor before taking Perindopril while breastfeeding.

It is important to attend regular doctor appointments and report any new or worsening symptoms to your healthcare provider while taking Perindopril. Aceon (Perindopril) is a prescription medication and should only be taken under the supervision of a healthcare provider.
