Side Effects Perindopril 4 Mg Versus Ramipril 10mg

My doctor has taken me off Ramipril 10mg and Bisoprolol 1.25 and put me on Perindopril 4mg. The ramipril did not lower my bp but i had few side effects . When the bisoprolol was added it lowered my bp a little but it was still out of control and I got bouts of vertigo and palpatations when the Bisoprolol was added. However as I was on amlodipine for a number of years , that actually kept my bp lower but the side effects gave me no quality of life at all so i would not like to use again. Does anyone know the difference of Ramipril and Perindopril and if Perindopril has less side effects than Ramipril and does it work better at lowering bp?

Well, it isn't that any medication really has less risk of side effects than any other. It's just that some are known to cause them less often and it's really a matter of finding one that works for you and causes the least amount of side effects possible.

As to the differences, they are both ACE inhibitors, but the Perindopril is a long acting one, so its effects on your blood pressure last longer and it can help more.

thank you for info, I did ask the doctor but he didn't give that information! it is trial and error he seems to think, probably right, but the aces if they work on the bp eventually appear to have less side effects than the calcium channel blockers , for me anyway.
