WHAT PERINDOPRIL ARGININE/INDAPAMIDE MYLAN IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Perindopril Arginine/Indapamide Mylan is a combination of two active
ingredients, perindopril and
indapamide. It is an anti-hypertensive and is used in the treatment of
high blood pressure
(hypertension).
Perindopril belongs to a group of medicines known as angiotensin
converting enzyme
(ACE) inhibitors, which widen the blood vessels, and therefore it is
easier for the heart to pump blood
through them. Indapamide is a diuretic, which is a type of medicine
that increases the amount of urine
produced by the kidneys. These two active ingredients work together to
reduce and control your blood
pressure.
