Ramipril is used for:
Treating high blood pressure or decreasing the risk of heart attack, stroke, and death in certain patients. It may be used alone or with other medicines. It is used along with other medicines to manage heart failure and improve survival after a heart attack. It may also be used for other conditions as determined by your doctor.
Ramipril is an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor. It works by relaxing blood vessels. This helps to lower blood pressure.
Do NOT use Ramipril if:
- you are allergic to any ingredient in Ramipril
- you have a history of angioedema (swelling of the hands, face, lips, eyes, throat, or tongue; difficulty swallowing or breathing; or hoarseness) caused by treatment with an ACE inhibitor
- you are in your second or third trimester of pregnancy
Contact your doctor or health care provider right away if any of these apply to you.
