Perindopril is a medication used to treat high blood pressure, heart failure, diabetic kidney disease, and coronary artery disease.[1][3] It is taken by mouth.[2] Maximum effect occurs over several weeks.[1]

Common side effects include cough, palpitations, muscle cramps, and protein in the urine.[1][2] Other side effects may include angioedema, low blood pressure, and kidney failure.[1] Use during pregnancy may harm the baby.[1] A lower dose should be used in those with kidney problems.[2] It is an ACE inhibitor and works by inhibiting the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system.[1]

Perindopril was patented in 1980 and approved for medical use in 1988.[4] It is available as a generic medication.[5] In the United Kingdom a month of medication costs the NHS about 7 pounds.[2] In the United States this amount costs about 15 USD as of 2021.[5] It is available as perindopril erbumine and perindopril arginine.[1]
