Ramipril 5 mg Tabs
₹89.00
Ramipril 5 mg is a medication primarily used to treat high blood pressure and heart failure, and to prevent heart attacks and strokes. It is an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor that helps relax and widen blood vessels, reducing the workload on the heart.
Key Information
- Uses: It is prescribed for hypertension, managing heart failure (especially after a heart attack), and protecting kidney function in patients with diabetes.
- Administration: The tablet should be swallowed whole with fluid, and not chewed or crushed. It can be taken with or without food, typically once daily at the same time each day.
- Dosage: The 5 mg tablet may be a starting dose or a maintenance dose, depending on the condition being treated and the patient’s response. The maximum daily dose for hypertension is usually 10 mg. Your doctor will determine the appropriate dosage for your specific condition.
- Important Precautions:
- Do not stop taking the medicine suddenly, as this can cause a dangerous spike in blood pressure.
- Inform your doctor if you are pregnant, planning a pregnancy, or breastfeeding, as ramipril is not recommended in these cases due to risks to the baby.
- It may cause dizziness, especially when standing up quickly. Getting up slowly or taking the medicine at bedtime can help.
- Avoid potassium supplements and potassium-rich foods (like bananas and broccoli) while on this medication, as it may increase potassium levels in the blood.
- Inform your doctor if you have kidney or liver problems, as dose adjustments or monitoring may be needed.
