Rev Med Liege 2021, 76(2),128-133Abstract : Fixed combination atorvastatin-perindopril (Lipercosyl®) for substitution treatment of cardiovascular risk management Lipercosyl® is a fixed combination of atorvastatin and perindopril, a cholesterol-lowering and an antihypertensive agent, which allows blood pressure and cholesterol levels to be controlled in hypertensive patients with dyslipidemia : atorvastatin, an inhibitor of HMG-CoA reductase, and perindopril, an angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor. Six presentations with different dosages of each molecule are available so the treatment can be individualized. Specific precautions of use to each medication must obviously be observed. The use of such a combination helps to ensure a good level of cholesterol while controlling blood pressure.
