Bipreterax is a combination of two active ingredients perindopril andindapamide. It is an anti-hypertensive and is used in the treatment of high blood pressure(hypertension).

Bipreterax 10 mg/2.5 mg is prescribed for patients already receiving perindopril 10 mg and indapamide 2.5 mg from separate tablets these patients may instead receive one tablet of Bipreterax 10 mg/2.5 mg which contains both ingredients.

Perindopril belongs to a class of medicines called ACE inhibitors. These work by widening the blood vessels which makes it easier for your heart to pump blood through them. Indapamide is a diuretic.

Diuretics increase the amount of urine produced by the kidneys. However indapamide is different fromother diuretics as it only causes a slight increase in the amount of urine produced.
