Table of contents:

Aceon is a prescription medicine used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension) and stable coronary artery disease (CAD). It contains perindopril erbumine, which is an ACE inhibitor. ACE stands for angiotensin converting enzyme.

Aceon works by relaxing blood vessels, making it easier for the heart to pump blood around the body, and reducing the risk of heart attacks, stroke, and kidney problems. Aceon is available in tablet form and should only be taken under the guidance of a physician.

Use and Dosage

Aceon is available in tablet form to be taken orally, typically once or twice daily as directed by your doctor. To minimize the risk of side effects, your doctor may instruct you to start with a low dose and increase it gradually.

The recommended dosages of Aceon may vary depending on the medical condition being treated and the patient's response to treatment. Generally, the recommended initial dose for patients with essential hypertension is 4 mg taken once a day, with the option to titrate up to a maximum of 16 mg per day. Elderly patients may have a lower initial daily dosage. As with any medication, the dosage should be determined and monitored by a healthcare provider.

Take Aceon tablets regularly at the same time(s) every day to achieve the best results. Even if you feel well, continue taking this medication. It may take several weeks before the full benefits are apparent. Notify your doctor if your condition does not improve or worsens, such as if your blood pressure readings remain high or increase.
