Pregnancy Category

Name : D

Description

There is positive evidence of human fetal risk based on adverse reaction data from investigational or marketing experience or studies in humans, but potential benefits may warrant use of the drug in pregnant women despite potential risks.

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.

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). Potentially Fatal: Increased risk of hypotension, hyperkalaemia and changes in renal function (including acute renal failure) w/ aliskiren in patients w/ diabetes or renal impairment.

Pregnancy Category Note
