Mode of Action

Perindopril is an ACE inhibitor, which acts by inhibiting the conversion of angiotensin I to angiotensin II, reducing the activity of the sympathetic nervous system and inhibiting enzyme kininase, which is involved in the conversion of bradykinin and other substances.

Interaction

May enhance hypotensive effect w/ diuretics. Additive hyperkalaemic effect w/ K supplements, K-sparing diuretics, and other drugs (e.g. ciclosporin, heparin, indometacin). May increase serum levels and toxicity of lithium. Antihypertensive effect may be reduced by aspirin or other NSAIDs. Coadministration w/ NSAIDs may also increase the risk of renal impairment. Increased risk of hypoglycaemia w/ antidiabetic agents. Rarely, nitritoid reactions occur w/ concomitant use of gold (sodium aurothiomalate). Potentially Fatal: Increased risk of hypotension, hyperkalaemia and changes in renal function (including acute renal failure) w/ aliskiren in patients w/ diabetes or renal impairment.
