"I have been using Coversyl for eight years, but it seems it doesn't work anymore. I have heart palpitations at night, and they are terrible, it wakes me up from sleep. Check my BP was high. I need to change the medication, it didn't work for me."

"Perindopril 10 mg for like 3 months. About 3 weeks into it, had really bad back pain. Didn’t think it was this medication till like 2 months after, all kinds of suffering. If you have bad pain and it started right after taking this medication."

"I was prescribed Perindopril (4/1.25 mg) for hypertension, with an emphasis on a stubborn diastolic value. My experience has been positive; I have been on it for about 6 weeks. Not only did it reign in my diastolic blood pressure (both systolic and diastolic are in the normal range now), but it alleviated my symptoms of anxiety. My heart no longer races, and the emotional components of my anxiety are also gone. I do notice a bit of a dry cough. I am very grateful that my doctor introduced me to Perindopril. I feel really good now!"

"Male in late 70s. Been on perindopril 2.5 mg for 6-7 years, and BP basically okay. No serious ailments. Then COVID-19 lockdown caused financial stress. Also 8 kg overweight, and BP jumped to 166/96, pulse okay. Increased dose to 5 mg. No improvement in BP in the first 3 days. I believe my extra weight is not allowing BP to drop - so focusing on reducing by 7-9 kg. No side effects to speak of."

"Was prescribed perindopril after a heart attack, been taking them for a few years now with no negative results until now. I've always had thick hair, but over the last few weeks, it has been shedding quite a lot at the back. Checked up, and apparently, this is quite a common side effect."

"On 4 mg once a day. My legs don't swell anymore, and my heart doesn't pound in my chest hard all night. Sinus issues, dry cough, and some hair loss, though. Has not changed my blood pressure from the previous Adalat XL I was taking. Usual reading 140/90. But my high BMI doesn't do me any favors."

"Too much Coversyl 4 mg with indapamide daily seemed to have no effect on lowering my blood pressure. My renal function declined slightly. I also got a rash on my back after 1-2 weeks on the Coversyl. I am now trying Ramipril for 2 days, the rash is going away. Hope for better luck in lowering blood pressure."

"I have been on perindopril for 17 years. This is the first time I had Teva perindopril. It didn't work, the previous one was made by Glenmark. I would not take Teva blood pressure medication again. I would give them -2 out of 10."

"I am using hypertension medicine Preterax Arginine 5 mg/1.25 mg for five years, which has controlled my BP. In the last two years, I have started to get gum disease and bleeding gums. I heard this is a side effect of hypertension medicine."
