Taking perindopril with other medicines and herbal supplements

There are some medicines that may affect the way perindopril works.

Tell your doctor if you're taking other medicines, including:

• anti-inflammatory medicines such as ibuprofen, indomethacin or aspirin for pain relief (low-dose aspirin – 75mg a day, is safe to take with perindopril)
• medicines to treat low blood pressure, heart failure, asthma or allergies, such as ephedrine, noradrenaline or adrenaline
• medicines to treat high blood pressure, such as aliskeren
• medicines that increase the risk of angioedema, such as valsartan and vidagliptin
• other medicines that can lower your blood pressure, such as some antidepressants, nitrates (for chest pain), baclofen (a muscle relaxant), anaesthetics or medicines for an enlarged prostate gland
• medicines that reduce the activity of your immune system, such as ciclosporin and tacrolimus
• medicines that make you pee more (diuretics), such as furosemide
• medicines that can increase the amount of potassium in your blood, such as spironolactone, triamterene, amiloride, potassium supplements, trimethoprim (for infections) or heparin (for preventing blood clots)
• steroid medicines such as prednisolone
• allopurinol, for gout
• procainamide, for heart rhythm problems
• medicines for diabetes
• lithium, for mental health problems

These are not all the medicines that may cause problems if you take them with perindopril. For a full list, see the leaflet inside your medicine packet.
