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).

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. 2.
