Committee Recommendations (1)

01 Jul 15 - Surrey & North West Sussex Area Prescribing Committee (formerly Prescribing Clinical Network)

Lisinopril or ramipril are the prefered ACE inhibitors as per locally agreed guidelines (see below).

However, this drug has been agreed as appropriate for initiation in Primary Care and/or continued in Primary Care following a recommendation from specialists in other health care sectors. Following consideration by the PCN, it has been assigned a GREEN traffic light status.

NOTE Perindopril should be prescribed generically as perindopril or perindopril erbumine and is available as 2mg, 4mg and 8mg tablets. Do not confuse this with perindopril arginine (2.5mg, 5mg and 10mg tablets) that are not available generically and are considerably more expensive
