WHAT PERINDOPRIL ARGININE ACTAVIS IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Perindopril arginine Actavis is an angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE)
inhibitor. These work by
widening the blood vessels, which makes it easier for your heart to
pump blood through them.
Perindopril arginine Actavis is used:
-
to treat high blood pressure (hypertension)
-
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
2.

DO NOT TAKE PERINDOPRIL ARGININE ACTAVIS
-
if you are allergic to perindopril, to any other ACE inhibitor or any
of the other ingredients of
this medicine (listed in section 6)
-
if you have experienced symptoms such as wheezing, swelling of the
face, tongue or throat,
intense itching or severe skin rashes with previous ACE inhibitor

4.2
POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
Posology
The dose should be individualised according to the patient profile
(see section 4.4) and blood pressure
response.
_Hypertension:_
Perindopril arginine Actavis may be used in monotherapy or in
combination with other classes of
anti-hypertensive therapy (see sections 4.3, 4.4, 4.5 and 5.1).
The recommended starting dose is 5 mg given once daily in the morning.
Patients with a strongly activated renin-angiotensin-aldosterone
system (in particular, renovascular
hypertension, salt and/or volume depletion, cardiac decompensation or
severe hypertension) may
experience an excessive drop in blood pressure following the initial
dose. A starting dose of 2.5 mg is
recommended in such patients and the initiation of treatment should
take place under medical
supervision.
The dose may be increased to 10 mg once daily after one month of
treatment.
2
Symptomatic hypotension may occur following initiation of therapy with
Perindopril arginine Actavis;
this is more likely in patients who are being treated concurrently
with diuretics. Caution is therefore
recommended since these patients may be volume and/or salt depleted.
If possible,
