Mode of actions

Perindopril is a type of medicine called an ACE inhibitor. It works by stopping the body from turning angiotensin I into angiotensin II, which helps lower blood pressure by relaxing blood vessels and reducing the workload on the heart. It also blocks an enzyme called kininase, which affects certain body chemicals like bradykinin.

Indapamide is another medicine that helps lower blood pressure. It is related to sulfonamides and has a special chemical structure called an indole ring. Indapamide works by stopping the kidneys from reabsorbing sodium in a specific area, so more sodium and water are removed in urine. This increases the amount of urine and helps reduce blood pressure.
