Prexum Plus Vs Prexum 5/1,25

I was prescribed Prexum Plus by my Doctor and suddenly the Pharmacist tells me that they are changing me to Prexum 5mg Plus? What is the difference between these two medications? Since I have been on the Prexum 5mg, I am feeling stressed and nervy and almost short tempered. Is this co-incidence or could this be the different medication? Please assist!

Prexum contains the active ingredient Perindopril, which is a ACE inhibitor that is most commonly used to help treat high blood pressure, and certain cardiac conditions.

The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, and hypotension.

There is no difference between the two you have listed, one just lists the dosage, and the other one didn't, but they are the same medication and same dosage.

How are you doing, now? Has there been any change? Are you on any other medications?
