Perindosyl-Am 4/5Mg Tablet is used to treat hypertension (high blood pressure). Hypertension is a medical condition in which the blood exerts high pressure (force exerted by circulating blood) against blood vessel's walls. This condition makes the heart work harder in pumping the blood to the whole body. Hypertension can cause severe health complications, including stroke, heart failure, heart attack and kidney failure.

Perindosyl-Am 4/5Mg Tablet contains Amlodipine (calcium channel blocker) and Perindopril (angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor). Amlodipine relaxes blood vessels, so that blood passes through them easily, thereby lowering the blood pressure. Perindopril relaxes and widens the blood vessels. This lowers your blood pressure and makes it easier for your heart to pump blood around your body. Thus, collectively, both help lower high blood pressure, reducing heart attack or stroke chances. 

Take Perindosyl-Am 4/5Mg Tablet as prescribed by your doctor. You may experience ankle swelling, tiredness, headache, palpitations (irregular heartbeat), sleepiness, increased potassium level in the blood, cough, flushing (sense of heat in the face, ears, neck, and trunk), Taste change, decreased blood pressure, and upset stomach.

Do not stop taking Perindosyl-Am 4/5Mg Tablet without consulting your doctor since it may worsen your condition and increase the risk of future heart problems. If you have angioedema (Painless swelling under the skin), diabetes then inform your doctor immediately. If you have kidney disease, you may not use Perindosyl-Am 4/5Mg Tablet with Aliskiren (other blood pressure-lowering pills). Reducing the amount of table salt (sodium chloride) in your food. Immediately contact your doctor if you have heart disease, kidney disease, liver disease, and high potassium levels in your blood. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, please tell your doctor so that the dosage of Perindosyl-Am 4/5Mg Tablet can be prescribed accordingly.

Perindosyl-Am 4/5Mg Tablet treats hypertension (high blood pressure) and consists of Amlodipine (calcium channel blocker) and Perindopril (angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor). Amlodipine is a 'calcium channel blocker' and treats high blood pressure, Prinzmetal's or variant angina (chest pain), and other conditions caused by coronary artery disease. It relaxes blood vessels, so that blood passes through them easily, thereby lowering the blood pressure. It also treats chest pain by improving the blood supply to the heart muscle to receive more oxygen. Amlodipine also improves a person's tolerance to exercise and keeps the blood pressure at acceptable levels. On the other hand, Perindopril is 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). It relaxes and widens the blood vessels. This lowers your blood pressure and makes it easier for your heart to pump blood around your body. However, Perindosyl-Am 4/5Mg Tablet does not cure high blood pressure (hypertension) but does help control it. In addition to this, Perindosyl-Am 4/5Mg Tablet also reduces the physical effects of anxiety.

Hypertension: It is a chronic condition when blood pressure is too high. Blood pressure is defined as the amount of blood pumped by the heart and the amount of resistance exerted by the arteries against the blood flow. If the heart pumps more blood, then arteries become narrower, and in turn, blood pressure becomes high. If blood pressure becomes uncontrolled, it may lead to serious heart diseases, including stroke and heart attack. Additionally, high blood pressure can also cause brain damage (stroke), and kidney failure. Blood pressure is expressed as systolic and diastolic pressures. Systolic blood pressure represents the contraction and relaxation of the heart. Diastolic pressure is exerted in the blood vessels when the heart beats and is in the resting state. Ideal blood pressure should be between 90/60mmHg and 120/80mmHg. Hypertension is detected when systolic blood pressure is more than 140mmHg, and diastolic pressure is higher than 90mmHg. Some of the symptoms of hypertension include headache, nosebleeds, vomiting, and chest pain.
