Perigard D Tablet is prescribed alone or with other drugs to lower the raised blood pressure. Hypertension (High blood pressure) is a condition in which the force exerted by the blood against the artery walls becomes so high that it causes health problems, such as heart disease.

Perigard D Tablet contains two medicines: Perindopril (blood pressure-lowering agent) and Indapamide (diuretics or water pills). Perindopril is an angiotensin-converting enzyme or ACE inhibitor that lowers increased blood pressure by blocking a naturally occurring substance known as angiotensin II (that tightens your blood vessels). It allows these constricted blood vessels to relax and helps lower high blood pressure. On the other hand, Indapamide (diuretic) increases the amount of urine passed out from the kidneys. But unlike other water pills, it does not increase urine output. It effectively reduces excess fluid overload in the body and treats oedema (swelling) associated with heart, liver, kidney, or lung disease. This reduces the heart's workload and makes the heart more efficient at pumping blood throughout the body. Thus, both help lower high blood pressure, reducing heart attack or stroke chances.

Perigard D Tablet is taken with or without food in a dose and duration as advised by the doctor. The doctor will adjust your dose according to your condition and response to the medicine. Sometimes, you may experience headaches, tiredness, slow heart rate, and nausea. Most of these side effects of Perigard D Tablet do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects are persistent, reach out to your doctor.
