1. WHAT PERINDOPRIL TABLETS ARE AND WHAT THEY ARE USED FOR
Perindopril Tablets are used: - in the treatment of high blood pressure (hypertension). - to treat heart failure (a condition where the heart is unable to pump enough blood to meet the bodys needs). - to reduce the risk of cardiac events, such as heart attack, in patients with stable coronary artery disease (a condition where the blood supply to the heart is reduced or blocked) and who have already had a heart attack and/or an operation to improve the blood supply to the heart by widening the vessels that supply it. Perindopril Tablets belong to a class of medicines called ACE inhibitors. These work by widening the blood vessels, which makes it easier for your heart to pump blood through them.
