Ramipril

For high blood pressure, the typical starting dose of Ramipril is 1.25 mg once a day, which can be increased gradually under medical supervision. The maximum daily dose is 10 mg. You should take Ramipril exactly as prescribed by your healthcare provider. If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember unless it is almost time for your next scheduled dose. Do not double up on doses to make up for a missed one. If you experience symptoms like dizziness or fainting, contact your doctor immediately.

Each Ramipril tablet contains 1.25 mg, 2.5 mg, 5 mg, or 10 mg of ramipril as the active ingredient. The tablets also contain excipients such as microcrystalline cellulose, pregelatinized starch, and sodium stearyl fumarate.

Common side effects of Ramipril may include dizziness, cough, and fatigue. Serious side effects that require immediate medical attention include signs of high potassium levels (such as muscle weakness or irregular heartbeat) and allergic reactions like swelling of the face, lips, or throat.

Do not take Ramipril if you are pregnant, have a history of angioedema, or are allergic to ACE inhibitors. It is important to inform your healthcare provider about any existing medical conditions, especially if you have kidney disease or diabetes. If you are taking other medications, particularly potassium-sparing diuretics or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), discuss with your doctor before starting Ramipril.
