Perigard 2 MG Tablet 10 is used to manage high blood pressure (hypertension) in adults. It belongs to a class of medications known as angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors.

This medicine is also used to manage heart failure and reduce the risk of heart attacks and strokes in patients with stable coronary artery disease. By helping blood flow more smoothly, it decreases strain on the heart and improves overall cardiovascular health in people with these conditions.

This medicine should be taken as directed by your doctor. It is important to inform your doctor about any pre-existing conditions or medications you are currently taking before starting this medicine. If you notice any side effects while taking this medicine, notify your doctor immediately. Continue taking the medicine for the full duration prescribed by your doctor for optimal results.

Perigard 2 MG Tablet 10 is used for the following:

Treatment of high blood pressure
Management of heart failure
Reduction of cardiovascular mortality risk
Prevention of heart attacks
Lowering the risk of strokes
Management of stable coronary artery disease

Follow these instructions while taking Perigard 2 MG Tablet 10:

Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water.
Do not crush, break, or chew the tablet.
Take it at the same time each day for best results.
Continue taking this medicine regularly, even if you feel well.

Perigard 2 MG Tablet 10 is taken orally.

Perigard 2 MG Tablet 10 may have the following common side effects:

Dry cough
Dizziness, especially when standing up quickly
Headache
Tiredness
Nausea
Rash

Managing the Side Effects:

Most side effects are temporary and generally harmless, which resolve on discontinuing the use of Perigard 2 MG Tablet 10. However, if you experience any serious side effects or worsening of any of the symptoms, please consult your doctor.

Nausea: Taking Perigard 2 MG Tablet 10 with food may help reduce stomach upset and nausea.
Dizziness: Consider taking this medicine at bedtime to minimise the effects of dizziness during your daily activities.

Perigard 2 MG Tablet 10 contains perindopril (2 mg), which works on the body as follows:

ACE Inhibition: Perindopril blocks an enzyme called angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) in your body, preventing the formation of angiotensin II, a substance that causes blood vessels to narrow.
Blood Vessel Relaxation: By reducing angiotensin II levels, perindopril helps blood vessels relax and widen, making it easier for blood to flow through them.
Blood Pressure Reduction: The relaxation of blood vessels leads to lower blood pressure, reducing strain on the heart and decreasing the risk of cardiovascular problems.
Cardiac Workload Decrease: By lowering blood pressure and improving blood flow, perindopril reduces the amount of work your heart needs to do, which is particularly beneficial for people with heart failure or coronary artery disease.

Pregnancy

Perigard 2 MG Tablet 10 is not recommended during pregnancy, especially during the second and third trimesters. If you are pregnant or planning to conceive, make sure to discuss this with your doctor before starting this medicine.

Breastfeeding

Caution is advised while taking Perigard 2 MG Tablet 10 if you are breastfeeding. It is best to consult your doctor before taking this medicine.

Alcohol

Avoid consuming alcohol while taking Perigard 2 MG Tablet 10. Alcohol may increase the blood pressure-lowering effect of this medicine, potentially causing dizziness or lightheadedness.

Liver

Caution is advised while taking Perigard 2 MG Tablet 10 if you have liver problems. If you have a history of liver disease, discuss this with your doctor before starting treatment.

Kidney

Caution is advised before using Perigard 2 MG Tablet 10 if you have a history of kidney problems, especially ischemic nephropathy (narrowing of the arteries that supply the kidneys). Your doctor may need to monitor your kidney function during treatment.

Using Machines & Driving

Perigard 2 MG Tablet 10 may cause dizziness or lightheadedness, especially when you first start taking it. Be careful when driving or using machinery until you know how this medicine affects you.

Allergy

Perigard 2 MG Tablet 10 is not recommended if you have a history of allergic reactions to perindopril or other ACE inhibitors. Inform your doctor about any previous allergic reactions.

Children

Perigard 2 MG Tablet 10 is not recommended for use in children under 18 years of age.

Older Patients

Older patients should take Perigard 2 MG Tablet 10 under medical supervision as they may be more susceptible to its side effects. Your doctor will guide you based on your health status.

Potassium-Sparing Diuretics: Medications such as spironolactone or amiloride can raise potassium levels when combined with Perigard 2 MG Tablet 10.
Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Medicines: Ibuprofen and naproxen may decrease the blood pressure-lowering effects of Perigard 2 MG Tablet 10.

Heart Valve Stenosis: Patients with aortic stenosis or hypertrophic cardiomyopathy should use this medicine with caution.

Daily Dose

The daily dose of Perigard 2 MG Tablet 10 should be taken as prescribed by your doctor. The dosage may vary based on your blood pressure levels and how your body responds to the medicine. Always follow the prescribed dosage without making changes on your own.

Over Dose

Overdosing on Perigard 2 MG Tablet 10 may cause dizziness, lightheadedness, or unusually low blood pressure. You might feel faint when standing up. If you suspect an overdose, contact your doctor for advice about what steps to take next.

Missed Dose

If you forget to take a dose, take it as soon as you remember. If it is nearly time for your next dose, skip the missed one and continue with your regular schedule. Never take a double dose to make up for the one you missed.

Store at room temperature (below 25°C) in a cool, dry place.
Keep in the original packaging, protected from direct sunlight and moisture.
Keep out of reach of children.
Do not use after the expiry date printed on the package.

Limit the amount of salt in your diet to help manage high blood pressure (hypertension). Avoid processed foods, which often contain hidden sodium, and try flavouring food with herbs and spices instead.
Aim for at least 30 minutes of moderate exercise most days of the week. Activities like brisk walking, swimming, or cycling can help lower blood pressure and strengthen your heart.
