What is ramipril used for?

How does ramipril work?
ramipril is an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor. It blocks ACE, a protein in your body that tightens blood vessels. In doing so, ramipril relaxes your blood vessels and causes your blood pressure to go down.
How do I take ramipril?
ramipril is typically started at a dose of 2.5 mg to 20 mg once daily. Your dose may be adjusted based on your blood pressure after 2 to 4 weeks.
Is it safe for me to take ramipril?
ramipril is a safe and effective treatment when used for FDA licensed indications. However, like all medications, they may give you unwanted side effects. You should always discuss potential side effects with your physician to ensure the medication is suitable and right for you. It should not be taken if you experienced angioedema related to previous treatment with an ACE inhibitor, or you have a history of hereditary or idiopathic angioedema. You should also not take ramipril along with sacubitril or aliskiren (if you are diabetic).
