Rice Protein and Perindopril Arginine, Amlodipine

Here is the interaction we found between these two, with the evidence behind it.

Moderate

ACE INHIBITORS (ACEIs)

Why this applies to Perindopril Arginine, Amlodipine

Perindopril Arginine, Amlodipine falls under ACE INHIBITORS (ACEIs) — the group Rice Protein interacts with.

In laboratory research, hydrolyzed rice protein inhibits angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE). In animal research, the inhibition of ACE is correlated with a reduction in systolic blood pressure. So far, this effect has not been shown in humans. Theoretically, concomitant use of rice protein and ACE inhibitors may increase the risk of blood pressure becoming too low. Use with caution. ACE inhibitors include benazepril (Lotensin), captopril (Capoten), enalapril (Vasotec), fosinopril (Monopril), lisinopril (Prinivil, Zestril), moexipril (Univasc), perindopril (Aceon), quinapril (Accupril), ramipril (Altace), and trandolapril (Mavik).
Severity Moderate Likelihood Possible Evidence D

Interaction has been documented in animal or in lab research, or the interaction has been documented in humans but is limited to case reports or conflicting clinical research exists.

Dr. Brian Staiger, PharmD, BCPS
Dr. Brian Staiger explains PharmD, Clinical Pharmacist

Here's the gist with Prestalia, which pairs perindopril (a blood pressure med in the ACE inhibitor family) with amlodipine. In a test tube and in animal studies, a broken-down form of rice protein seemed to act a little like an ACE inhibitor itself, gently nudging blood pressure down. The thought is that if it adds to what perindopril already does, your pressure could dip too low.

I want to be honest about how thin this evidence is: it has not been shown to happen in people, and a regular scoop of rice protein in a shake is very different from a concentrated lab extract. Still, if you notice dizziness, lightheadedness, or feeling faint when you stand up, mention it to your pharmacist or doctor. No need to stop anything on your own.

About Rice Protein

What is Rice Protein?

  • Building and maintaining muscle
  • Post-workout recovery
  • Plant-based protein source
  • Meal replacement and shakes
  • Weight management support

Rice protein is a plant-based protein powder made from rice that offers an easy way to add protein to your diet, especially if you avoid dairy or animal products. It is generally considered safe and well tolerated, though on its own it is lower in the amino acid lysine and is often blended with pea protein for a more complete amino acid profile. Talk to your pharmacist or doctor before using it if you have kidney problems or other health conditions.
