How Does Perindopril Erbumine 8mg Work
Perindopril is an ACE inhibitor that blocks the conversion of angiotensin I to angiotensin II, a chemical responsible for narrowing blood vessels. By reducing angiotensin II levels, Perindopril promotes relaxation and widening of blood vessels, improving blood flow, reducing blood pressure, and easing strain on the heart.
