POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
Posology
‘The dose should be individualised according to the patient profile (see section “Special Warnings
and Precautions for Use’) and blood pressure response.
Hypertension
BIOPREXUM 10 mg may be used in monotherapy or in combination with other classes of
‘antihypertensive therapy (see sections "Contraindicalons’, “Special warnings and precautions for
Use", “Interaction with other medicinal products and other forms of inferacion’, and
"Pharmacodynamic properties")
‘The recommended starting dose is 5 mg given once dally in the morning,
Patients with a strongly activated renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (in particular, renovascular
hypertension, salt andlor volume depletion, cardiac decompensation or severe hypertension) may
‘experience an excessive drop in blood pressure following the inal dose. A starting dose of 2.5 mq
Is recommended in such patients and the inibation of treatment should take place under medical
supenision
‘The dose may be increased to 10 mg once dally after one month of treatment
‘Symptomatic hypotension may occur following intiaton of therapy with BIOPREXUM 10 mg: this is
‘more likely in patients who are being treated concurrently with diuretics. Caution is therefore
recommended since these patients may be volume andlor salt depleted.
If possible, the dluretic should be ciscontinued 2 to 3 days before beginning therapy with
[BIOPREXUM 10 mg (see section ‘Special Warnings and Precautions for Use"),
In hypertensive patients in whom the diuretic cannot be discontinued, therapy with BIOPREXUM
should be inated with a 2.5 mg dose. Renal function and serum potassium should be monitored,
‘The subsequent dosage of BIOPREXUM should be adjusted according to Blood pressure response.

PHARMACOLOGICAL PROPERTIES
Pharmacodynamic properties
Pharmacotherapeutic group: ACE inhibitors, plan, ATC code: CO9A AD
Mechanism of action
Perindopril is an inhibitor of the enzyme that converts angiotensin | into angiotensin I! (Angiotensin
Converting Enzyme ACE). The converting enzyme, or kinase, is an exopeptidase that allows,
Conversion of angiotensin | into the vasoconstrictor angiotensin Il as well as causing the degradation
Of the vasodilator bradykinin into an inactive heptapeptide. Inhibition of ACE results ina reduction of
angiotensin Il in the plasma, which leads to Increased plasma renin actvly (by inhibition of the
egative feedback of renin release) and reduced secration of aldosterone.
Since ACE inactivates bradykinin, inhibition of ACE also results in an increased activity of circulating
land local kalikrein-kinin systems (and thus also activation ofthe prostaglandin system). It's possible
that this mechanism contributes to the blood pressure-owering action of ACE inhibitors and is
Parlay cesponsible for carta oftheir side effects (2.9. cOUgh).

Hypertension
Perindopril is acive in all grades of hypertension: mid, moderate, severe: a reduction in systolic and
diastolic blood pressures in both supine and standing postions is observed
Perindopril reduces. peripheral vascular resistance, leading to blood pressure reduction. AS a
‘consequence, peripheral blood flow increases, with no effect on heart rate,
Renal blood flow increases as are, while the glomeruarfitaton rae (GFR) is usually unchanged,
‘The antihypertensive activity is maximal between 4 and 6 hours after a single dose and ls sustained
for at east 24 hours: rough effets are about 87-100 % of peak elects,
‘The decrease in blood pressure occurs rapidly. In responding patients, normalisation is achleved
‘within a month and persists without the occurrence of tachyphylan,
Discontinuation of treatment does not lead toa rebound effect
Perindopril reduces left ventricular hypertrophy.
In man, perindopril has been confirmed to demonstrate vasodilatory properties. It improves large
