Sal Damore,

 

The generic name for Aceon is perindopril erbumine, and is a drug in the class known as Angiotensin Converting Enzyme blockers (ACE Inibitors).  Lisinopril is a generic ACE Inhibitor, but is not the generic for aceon.  These two drugs are in the same class, do the same thing, but are not identical in formulation. 

 

I hope this information has been helpful. 

 

Thank you.
