Side Effects Of Ramipril

Updated

I read and came to know that in some patients the use of Ramipril actually increases the blood pressure due to some specific action of kidney emissions (only a minority of the patients), as it is in my case. Can somebody clarify?

No, it actually causes the opposite effect, in a small percentage of patients that have some impairment to renal function, it can cause them to absorb too much of the medication and suffer from low blood pressure (hypotension).

In these cases, they have to use a much lower dosage and their BP must be regularly monitored to make sure it isn't dropping too low.

This is a common issue with most blood pressure medications.

I am 63 years old. I take Ramistar 5mg in the morning and2.5 mg in the night. My diastolic varies between 70 and 80, However it is systolic that causes the problem. It varies between 140 to 170. (gets increasing as the day progresses towards the night till the time of the second dose) Shall I change the medicine?

Hi, I am a good deal late in reading this post. I had a severe increase in BP after taking these tablets from 140/90 to 220/110. It also caused angioedema in various parts of my body. Did your bp return to normal?
