When I saw the perindopril change to erbumine, my first thought was... "Not another amlodipine farce in the making". Thankfully, the standard perindopril is being changed to erbumine to distinguish it from the exciting new arginine that has been brought out to standardise international pharmaco operations, so we can all sleep at night. At least the strength of the erbumine is different from the arginine range, so at least we will be able to tell the difference on a script that doesn't quote the salt (ester or whatever 'tis).
By the way, the April 2008 Drug Tariff has got the erbumine name now. DM+D should change soon.
