Aceon (Perindopril Erbumine) - Product Information

Aceon is a medication primarily used to manage hypertension (high blood pressure) and certain heart conditions. It belongs to a class of drugs known as angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors.

Indications: What is Aceon used for?

Aceon is prescribed to treat:

Hypertension (High Blood Pressure): Aceon helps lower blood pressure, reducing the risk of stroke, heart attack, and kidney problems.
Heart Failure: Aceon can improve the heart's ability to pump blood effectively in some types of heart failure.

How Aceon Works

Aceon functions by inhibiting ACE, an enzyme that plays a crucial role in:

Constricting blood vessels, leading to increased blood pressure.
Regulating sodium and fluid retention by the kidneys, which can contribute to high blood pressure and heart failure.

By blocking ACE, Aceon helps to:

Relax blood vessels, allowing blood to flow more easily.
Reduce blood pressure.
Decrease the workload on the heart.

Dosage and Administration

Always follow your doctor's instructions regarding Aceon dosage and administration. Here are some general guidelines:

Administration: Aceon can be taken with or without food.
Consistency: Take Aceon at the same time each day to maintain consistent blood levels and maximize its effectiveness.
Duration: Continue taking Aceon even if you feel well, as high blood pressure often has no symptoms.
Missed Dose: If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember. However, if it's almost time for your next scheduled dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular dosing schedule. Do not double the dose to catch up.

Active Ingredient

The active ingredient in Aceon is Perindopril erbumine.

Storage Information

Proper storage is essential to maintain the efficacy of Aceon:

Temperature: Store Aceon at room temperature, between 68 and 77 degrees F (20 and 25 degrees C).
Conditions: Protect Aceon from heat, light, and moisture.
Safety: Keep Aceon out of the reach of children and pets.

Contraindications: When Not to Use Aceon

Do NOT use Aceon if:

You are allergic to perindopril erbumine or any other ingredients in Aceon.
You are in the second or third trimester of pregnancy. Aceon can cause serious harm to the unborn baby.
You have a history of angioedema (severe allergic reaction with swelling) related to previous ACE inhibitor use.
You are taking or have taken dextran sulfate within the past 3 days.

If any of these conditions apply to you, consult your doctor immediately.

Precautions and Warnings

Certain medical conditions may interact with Aceon. Inform your doctor if you have any of the following:

Pregnancy, planning pregnancy, or breastfeeding.
Any allergies to medications, foods, or other substances.
History of angioedema (severe allergic reaction with swelling) or hereditary angioedema.
Bone marrow depression.
Cerebrovascular disease (blood vessel problems in the brain, including stroke).
Severe immune system disease (e.g., lupus, scleroderma).
Undergoing dialysis.
High blood potassium levels (hyperkalemia).
Low blood sodium levels (hyponatremia).
On a sodium-restricted diet.
Ischemic heart disease.
Liver or kidney problems (including kidney transplant).
Dehydration.

Drug Interactions

Aceon can interact with various medications. Inform your doctor about all prescription and over-the-counter medications, herbal supplements, and vitamins you are taking, especially:

Nonsteroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs): such as ibuprofen and naproxen, may reduce the effectiveness of Aceon.
Indomethacin: May decrease the effectiveness of Aceon.
Aspirin and other Salicylates: May reduce the effectiveness of Aceon.
Potassium-Sparing Diuretics: such as spironolactone, triamterene, and amiloride, can increase the risk of hyperkalemia (high potassium).
Potassium Supplements: Can increase the risk of hyperkalemia.
Lithium: Aceon may increase lithium levels in the blood, leading to toxicity.
Diuretics (Water Pills): May cause excessive blood pressure reduction.
Antidiabetic Drugs: such as insulin and sulfonylureas (e.g., glyburide), Aceon may enhance their blood sugar-lowering effect, increasing the risk of hypoglycemia.
Other Antihypertensives: Concurrent use with other blood pressure-lowering medications may lead to excessive hypotension.
Gold injections (sodium aurothiomalate): Nitritoid reactions (symptoms include facial flushing, nausea, vomiting and hypotension) have been reported rarely in patients on therapy with ACE inhibitors and injectable gold.

This is not an exhaustive list. Always consult with your doctor or pharmacist to ensure the safety of combining Aceon with other medications.

Important Safety Information

Dizziness and Lightheadedness: Aceon may cause dizziness or lightheadedness, especially when you first start taking it or when you stand up quickly. Avoid driving, operating machinery, or performing other potentially dangerous tasks until you know how Aceon affects you.
Postural Hypotension: To minimize dizziness or lightheadedness upon standing, rise slowly from a lying or sitting position.
Dehydration: Drink plenty of fluids while taking Aceon to prevent dehydration, which can lead to low blood pressure. Avoid activities that cause excessive sweating.
Cough: A persistent, dry cough is a common side effect of ACE inhibitors. Inform your doctor if you develop a cough.
Monitoring Blood Pressure: Regularly monitor your blood pressure as directed by your doctor.
Surgery and Medical Procedures: Inform your doctor or dentist that you are taking Aceon before any surgery or medical procedures, including dental work.
Infection Risk: Aceon may lower your resistance to infection. Avoid contact with people who have colds or other infections. Practice good hygiene, such as frequent hand washing.
Potassium Supplements and Salt Substitutes: Do not use potassium supplements or salt substitutes containing potassium without consulting your doctor.
Time to Effect: It may take several weeks for Aceon to achieve its full blood pressure-lowering effect. Continue taking Aceon as prescribed, even if you feel well.
Lab Tests: Regular blood tests may be required to monitor your kidney function, electrolyte levels, and blood counts.
Elderly Patients: Elderly patients may be more sensitive to the effects of Aceon, particularly dizziness and rash. Use caution.
Children: The safety and effectiveness of Aceon in children have not been established. Use with extreme caution.
Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: Aceon can cause serious harm to the fetus. Do not use Aceon if you are pregnant or planning to become pregnant. It is unknown whether Aceon passes into breast milk. Do not breastfeed while taking Aceon.
