Perindopril works by blocking a substance in the body that causes the blood vessels
to tighten. As a result, perindopril relaxes the blood vessels. This lowers blood
pressure and increases the supply of blood and oxygen to the heart.
Perindopril works by helping your blood vessels relax and widen. This lowers your
blood pressure.
