I wonder what the rationale behimd this might be , as perindopril is now off patent and prices are likely to come tumbling down this year
To upset the patients - and let them know who is boss. And if the patients have the audacity to complain the GP's can say they've tried perindopril and ramipril and then feel justified in putting them on something much more ex(pensive/perimental) *delete as appropriate.
