Perinda dosage
Perinda 5 mg/1.25 mg Tablet: If blood pressure is not controlled after 1 month of treatment, the dose should be titrated to one 5 mg/1.25 mg tablet/day as a single dose, preferably to be taken in the morning and before a meal. When clinically appropriate, direct change from monotherapy to 5 mg/1.25 mg film-coated tablet may be considered.
Perinda 10 mg/2.5 mg Tablet: One 10 mg/2.5 mg as a single dose, preferably to be taken in the morning and before a meal.
Elderly: In elderly, the plasma creatinine must be adjusted in relation to age, weight and gender. Elderly patients can be treated with Perinda 5 mg/1.25 mg and 10 mg/2.5 mg if renal function is normal and after considering blood pressure response.
Renal Impairment: In severe renal impairment (creatinine clearance <30 mL/min), treatment is contraindicated.
In moderate renal impairment (creatinine clearance <60 mL/min), treatment is contraindicated to Perinda 10 mg/2.5 mg.
Perinda 5 mg/1.25 mg Tablet: In patients with moderate renal impairment (creatinine clearance 30-60 mL/min), it is recommended to start treatment with the adequate dosage of the free combination.
In patients with creatinine clearance ≥60 mL/min, no dose modification is required.
Usual medical follow-up will include frequent monitoring of creatinine and potassium.
Hepatic Impairment: In severe hepatic impairment, treatment is contraindicated.
In patients with moderate hepatic impairment, no dose modification is required.
Perinda interactions
Avoid Perinda with lithium, potassium-sparing diuretics (eg, spironolactone, triamterene), potassium salts.

Perinda side effects
The administration of Perindopril (Perinda) inhibits the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone axis and tends to reduce the potassium loss caused by Indapamide (Perinda). Two percent (2%) of the patients on treatment with Perinda 2.5 mg/0.625 mg, 4% of the patients on treatment with Perinda 5 mg/1.25 mg and 6% of the patients on treatment with Perinda 10 mg/2.5 mg experience hypokalaemia (potassium level <3.4 micromol/L).
The following undesirable effects could be observed during treatment and ranked under the following frequency: Very common (≥1/10); common (≥1/100, <1/10); uncommon (≥1/1000, <1/100); rare (≥1/10000, <1/1000), very rare (<1/10000), not known (cannot be estimated from the available data).
Blood and the Lymphatic System Disorders: Very Rare: Thrombocytopenia, leucopenia/neutropenia, agranulocytosis, aplastic anaemia, haemolytic anaemia. Anaemia has been reported with ACE inhibitors in specific circumstances (patients who have had kidney transplants, patients undergoing haemodialysis).
Psychiatric Disorders: Uncommon: Mood or sleep disturbances.
Nervous System Disorders: Common: Paraesthesia, headache, dizziness, vertigo. Very Rare: Confusion.
Eye Disorders: Common: Vision disturbance.
Ear and Labyrinth Disorders: Common: Tinnitus.
Vascular Disorders: Common: Hypotension whether orthostatic or not.
Cardiac Disorders: Very Rare: Arrhythmia including bradycardia, ventricular tachycardia, atrial fibrillation, angina pectoris and myocardial infarction possibly secondary to excessive hypotension in high-risk patients.
Respiratory, Thoracic and Mediastinal Disorders: Common: A dry cough has been reported with the use of ACE inhibitors. It is characterised by its persistence and by its disappearance when treatment is withdrawn. An iatrogenic aetiology should be considered in the presence of this symptom. Dypsnoea. Uncommon: Bronchospasm. Very Rare: Eosinophilic pneumonia, rhinitis.
Gastrointestinal Disorders: Common: Constipation, dry mouth, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, dysgeusia, dyspepsia, diarrhoea, epigastric pain, anorexia, abdominal pains, taste disturbance. Very Rare: Pancreatitis.
Hepato-Biliary Disorders: Very Rare: Hepatitis either cytolytic or cholestatic. Not known: In case of hepatic insufficiency, there is a possibility of onset of hepatic encephalopathy.
Skin and Subcutaneous Tissue Disorders: Common: Rash, pruritus, maculopapular eruptions. Uncommon: Angioedema of face, extremities, lips, mucous membranes, tongue, glottis and/or larynx, urticaria. Hypersensitivity reactions, mainly dermatological, in subjects with a predisposition to allergic and asthmatic reactions. Purpura, possible aggravation of preexisting acute disseminated lupus erythematosus. Very Rare: Erythema multiforme, toxic epidermic necrolysis, Stevens-Johnson syndrome. Cases of photosensitivity reactions have been reported.
Musculoskeletal, Connective Tissue and Bone Disorders: Common: Muscle cramps.
Renal and Urinary Disorders: Uncommon: Renal insufficiency. Very Rare: Acute renal failure.
Reproductive System and Breast Disorders: Uncommon: Impotence.
General Disorders and Administration Site Conditions: Common: Asthenia. Uncommon: Sweating.
Investigations: Potassium depletion with particularly serious reduction in levels of potassium in some at risk populations. Reduced sodium levels with hypovolaemia causing dehydration and orthostatic hypotension. Increase in uric acid levels and in blood glucose levels during treatment. Slight increase in urea and in plasma creatinine levels, reversible when treatment is stopped. This increase is more frequent in cases of renal artery stenosis, arterial hypertension treated with diuretics, renal insufficiency. Increased levels of potassium, usually transitory. Rare: Raised plasma calcium levels.
Perinda contraindications
Linked to Perindopril (Perinda): Perinda should never be used in cases of hypersensitivity to Perindopril (Perinda) or to any other angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors; previous history of angioneurotic oedema (Quincke's oedema) linked to treatment with an angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor; hyperkalemia; pregnancy; lactation.

Perinda 2.5 mg/5 mg is generally not recommended in combinations with potassium-sparing diuretics, potassium salts, lithium; bilateral renal artery stenosis or single functioning kidney; increased potassium levels.
Linked to Indapamide (Perinda): Perinda should never be used in cases of hypersensitivity to sulphonamides; severe renal failure (creatinine clearance <30 mL/min), hepatic encephalopathy, severe impairment of liver function; hypokalaemia.
As a general rule, use of Perinda is not recommended in combination with non-antiarrhythmic drugs producing Torsade de pointes.
