Q. What is Perindopril erbumine? What is it used for?
Perindopril erbumine belongs to a group of medicines known as angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors. It relaxes and widens the blood vessels, making it easier for the blood to pass through the vessels. As a result of this, the heart does not have to work more to push the blood.

It is also used for the treatment and prevention of congestive heart failure.
Q. What time of the day should I take Perindopril erbumine?
Perindopril erbumine should be taken at the same time each day to reduce the chances of a missed dose. Take it in the dose and duration prescribed by the doctor. Your doctor may advise you to take your first dose before bedtime, because it can make you dizzy. After the first dose, if you do not feel dizzy, you may take Perindopril erbumine at any time of the day. Your dose will depend on the condition you are being treated for and therefore, it will vary from person to person.
