Opecosyl Argin 5 has a dosage form of tablets, packed in a box of 3 blisters x 10 tablets. Perindopril arginine 5mg as active ingredient. The active ingredient Perindopril in Opecosyl Argin 5 is an angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor, which acts through the activity of the perindoprilat metabolite. Perindopril helps prevent angiotensin I from being converted to angiotensin II - a strong vasoconstrictor, promoting myocardial growth and vascular smooth muscle cells. Opecosyl Argin 5 also reduces serum aldosterone, thus reducing sodium retention in the body. Thereby reducing the breakdown of bradykinin - a potent vasodilator and altering prostanoid metabolism, and inhibiting the sympathetic nervous system. In patients with high blood pressure, perindopril has the potential to help lower blood pressure by reducing systemic peripheral resistance, with a slight or no increase in heart rate, cardiac output, or systolic output. Opecosyl Argin 5 commonly causes arterial and/or venous dilation. Opecosyl Argin 5 will help the patient's blood pressure return to normal within 1 month. In cases where long-term treatment is required, Opecosyl Argin 5 does not exceed the therapeutic effect. The effect of Opecosyl Argin 5 will be maintained for 24 hours when taking a single dose. In patients with congestive heart failure, perindopril reduces subendocardial collagen excess and left ventricular hypertrophy, reduces the occurrence of reperfusion arrhythmias, and restores the iso-enzymatic properties of myosin. Perindopril has the potential to reduce cardiac load, decrease systemic peripheral resistance, increase cardiac output, and slightly decrease heart rate. With the recommended dose of Opecosyl Argin 5, the patient's blood pressure readings will not be changed with the first or long-term dose.
