Contraindication
History of angioedema related to previous ACE inhibitor treatment. Pregnancy (2nd/3rd trimesters).
Mode of Action
Perindopril is an ACE inhibitor, which acts by inhibiting the conversion of angiotensin I to angiotensin II, reducing the activity of the sympathetic nervous system and inhibiting enzyme kininase, which is involved in the conversion of bradykinin and other substances.
Precaution
History of airway surgery. Withdraw if there is significant increase in LFTs. Risk factors for hyperkalaemia; monitor potassium closely. Patients dependent on renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system; consider withdrawal in patients with progressive deterioration in renal function. Collagen vascular disease. Hypovolaemia; monitor BP with the 1st dose. Unilateral renal artery stenosis and pre-existing renal insufficiency; valvular aortic stenosis. Before, during, or immediately after anaesthesia. May impair ability to drive or operate machinery. Lactation.
Lactation: not known if distributed into breast milk; use caution

Interaction
May enhance hypotensive effect w/ diuretics. Additive hyperkalaemic effect w/ K supplements, K-sparing diuretics, and other drugs (e.g. ciclosporin, heparin, indometacin). May increase serum levels and toxicity of lithium. Antihypertensive effect may be reduced by aspirin or other NSAIDs. Coadministration w/ NSAIDs may also increase the risk of renal impairment. Increased risk of hypoglycaemia w/ antidiabetic agents. Rarely, nitritoid reactions occur w/ concomitant use of gold (sodium aurothiomalate).
