How It Works

Ramipril is an ACE inhibitor that functions by blocking the formation of angiotensin II, a hormone that normally causes blood vessels to constrict and raise blood pressure. By inhibiting this process, Ramipril helps relax and widen blood vessels, reducing hypertension and making it easier for the heart to pump blood. Additionally, Ramipril lowers the release of aldosterone, a hormone that may increase blood pressure by causing the body to retain sodium & water. This effect helps prevent fluid buildup, which is particularly beneficial for individuals with heart failure.

  • Blurred vision

  • Dry persistent cough

  • Angioedema
  • Hyperkalemia (High potassium levels)
  • Liver failure

Note: Contact your healthcare provider immediately if you experience any serious symptoms or unusual changes in your blood pressure.

  • Allergic Reactions: Severe hypersensitivity reactions, including anaphylaxis, may occur. Symptoms like rashes, itching, hoarseness, trouble breathing or swallowing, and facial swelling require immediate medical attention.
  • Drug Interaction with Sacubitril: Do not use Ramipril with sacubitril, including sacubitril/valsartan, within 36 hours of each other. Combining these medications may lead to serious health issues.
  • Liver Concerns: If you notice symptoms like upper stomach pain, pale stools, dark urine, loss of appetite, nausea, unusual tiredness, or yellowing of the skin or eyes, contact your doctor as these could indicate liver issues.
  • Kidney Problems: If you experience lower back pain, reduced urine output, blood in your urine, increased thirst, swelling in your legs or face, weight gain, or high blood pressure, it could point to kidney problems.
