Can Perindopril Be Taken With Potassium Rich Food Items?
I have had a burning mostly prickly pain for about 10 months now, my GP has had and run numerous tests to no avail. I have had scans, MRI s ultrasounds, everything, Cannot find the cause. I think it is shingles on the inside, I have no evidence of it on the outside, but it is just the torso on one side of my body, since I had the chicken pox as a child, he says there is no way to test for them on the inside. This is maddening to say the least. Can the antibiodic for shingles hurt me if I don t have them?

hi...no..perindopril must not take with potassium rich food.
perindopril is ace inhibitor used in high blood pressure patients..
it causes increase in potassium level.
and use with potassium food will further increase in potassium.
which leads to leathal effect on heart activity..
so avoid it..
take care
