Ramipril

Uses

Ramipril is used in the treatment of hypertension (high blood pressure), the prevention of heart attack and stroke, and heart failure.

How it Works

How Ramipril works Ramipril is an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor. It functions by reducing stress on the heart and relaxing blood vessels, allowing blood to flow more smoothly and enabling the heart to pump blood more efficiently.

Side Effects

Common side effects of Ramipril include dizziness, drowsiness, dry cough, headache, fatigue, nausea, vomiting, and decreased blood pressure.

Expert Advice

  • Ramipril may cause dizziness for the first few days; rise slowly if you have been sitting or lying down.
  • Consider taking it at bedtime to minimize dizziness during the day.
  • Notify your doctor about any persistent cough or throat irritation.
  • Ramipril may increase potassium levels in the blood; avoid potassium supplements and potassium-rich foods such as bananas and broccoli.
  • Inform your doctor if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding.
  • You have been prescribed Ramipril to improve blood pressure.
  • Lowering blood pressure reduces the risk of future heart attacks and strokes.
  • It may also be used to treat chronic (long-standing) heart failure.
  • Ramipril helps protect kidney function, which is particularly beneficial for individuals with diabetes or mild-to-moderate kidney diseases.
