How it works

Ramipril and hydrochlorothiazide has antihypertensive and diuretic effects. Ramipril and hydrochlorothiazide are used singly or together for antihypertensive therapy. The antihypertensive effects of both substances are complementary. The blood-pressure-lowering effects of both components together are greater than the effect of either monotherapy. In patients treated with ramipril and a thiazide diuretic there was essentially no change in serum potassium .

Precautions

Dual blockade of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system by combining Ramipril , Hydrochlorothiazide with an angiotensin-II receptor antagonist (AIIRA) or with aliskiren is not recommended since there are increased risk of hypotension, hyperkalemia and changes in renal function.

Warning 1

Angioedema occurring during treatment with an ACE inhibitor necessitates immediate discontinuation of the drug.

Warning 2

Treatment with Ramipril , Hydrochlorothiazide requires regular monitoring of serum sodium, potassium, calcium, uric acid, and blood glucose. More frequent monitoring of serum potassium is necessary in patients with impaired renal function.

Warning 3

It is recommended that the white blood cell count be monitored to permit detection of a possible leucopenia. More frequent monitoring is advised in the initial phase of treatment and in patients with impaired renal function, those with concomitant collagen disease (e.g. lupus erythematosus or scleroderma) or those treated with other drugs that can cause changes in the blood picture .

Pregnancy category

Always consult your physician before using any medicine.
