User Reviews for ramipril oral

I started at 10 mg a.m. only. Dosage too high as time release capsules released too soon...heart attack symptoms. Now can not eat butter or cream or cheese or get same symptoms. Now get swelling in feet...did not have this or food prohibition before on Accupril which was discontinued. After a few days, I opened pills and took only half the powder a.m. and other half p.m. ...worked way better but still can't eat butter, cheese or cream. The doctor seemed oblivious to any side effects. This doctor prescribed 4 meds before even getting test resuls back! When they came back, my cholesterol and glucose were only a tiny bit over normal. My regular doc will be back from holidays soon and I am going to request some tests and maybe a change...but I'm not looking forward to another nightmare!!Read More Read Less

Not been on long but am experiencing fatigue and bad headaches (between stress and migraine level). Eyes seem sensitive but that could be due to the headaches. Hope it’s just my body adjusting to the med and symptoms will lessen.

So I was on ramipril for only 4 days started feeling like side temples on my head was popping out and felt sore to touch them ,my hands got slightly bruised came off them then experienced tight chest never had tight chest before I went on them and I was only put on them because blood pressure was getting to high at 150/100 now I'm suffering with tightness in chest maybe these was just a side effect but I kind got scared kept thinking that my veins or arteries in my head near my temples was going to brust because that how sore they was Read More Read Less

I have been on this for over 10 years and it has worked but Tuesday I had my BP checked and it was extremely high, even higher than what it was when I was first on it! I now need another pill adding but with Ramipril I didn’t get any side effects not even a cough like a lot of others have reported. I hope you all get on a drug that suits you.

On 7.5mg, dizziness, bad anxiety, neck ache, extremely dry eyes and just generally feeling unwell. Feels like a vicious circle weighing up the benefits of having blood pressure under control but also not feeling constantly Ill

Took R at 10:30 yesterday morning by 1pm I was in hospital with a tube in my arm. My heart his 230 every time I stood up. I was dizzy and disoriented lapsing in and out of consciousness. With hope it will clear fully today as my heart still races when I stand up

Although Ramipril reduced my blood pressure to acceptable levels, after 3 months I developed a hacking cough, itchy skin (but no rash) and watery eyes. My doctors didn't guess it might be a side effect of the drug and sent me for two chest X-rays to determine why I was coughing so violently! I googled the effects of the drug and stopped using it immediately. Awaiting for an alternative to be prescribed.

Best thing i have done 2.5mg ramipril a day its brought my bp to normal first couple of weeks felt tired but soon cleared once i had adjusted it and been great since 5 weeks in all good

causes blurred vision ,memory loss, nose, ear and throat problems after several years on it.

I've been taking this in 2.5mg capsule for over a year after MI. I have history of allergies to antibiotics, certain opiates and egg proteins. I have no side effects from this medication at all other than it's intended use. bp 110/70 with, 140/85 without.

Severe vomiting, diarrhea, weird head feeling, dizziness almost passing out. I have low blood pressure and do not understand why I have been given this medication

Within the 3 hrs of taking the drug. Sitting in my office experienced most traumatic attack. Started with funny feeling in my tongue following shortness of breath within 60 seconds. Fortunately was at work, and got all the help needed ended up in ER with diagnosis of â??no any of prill drug everâ? . Before that day, never had any allergies in my entire life. If I had started this drug 24 hrs later could have been alone with my 26 months daughter.

Was taking Ramipil for 18mth and it seemed to lower my blood pressure until one day I took it as I normally would only to have a life threating anaphylactic shock why shopping if it wasn't for the staff in the store quick response

Ok, so....this medication gives me face flushing (hot face). Sore stomach nausea, I have been on this for two months and I also get very hot and sweaty on it. Guess I need to try something else....but my dr says it doesn't cause these symptoms. Funny other ppl have the same.

I've was on this medication for 6 months. I was suffering from a terrible cough causing my asthma to be out of control. Going to doctors for relief and taking all kinds of meds . My primary finally realized it was the ramipril. After two weeks of being off the medication no more cough.

Caused significant rhinitis. Had to cease using the medication despite its efficacy.

Developed terrible cough, sweats and a whole host of other side effects Dotors did not link symptoms with Ramipril so spent 6 mths day and night with a chronic cough, breathlessness, heavy sweats etc enduring 2 courses of strong anti biotics, chest x ry, 12 lead ECG, tablets for Silent Reflux, drastically changed diet, ie. no red meat, fish, cheese, eggs, white bread or pasta, alkaline water and more. It was my sister who remembered a doctor mentioning that tablets can cause my symptoms. Stopped taking them and gained almost immediate refleif from my symptoms after enduring almost a year of the most debilatating and disturbing symptoms. This product is not fit for humans, not fit forr purpose and should be banned immediately. Read More Read Less

I'm an adult male in my early 50's. My doctor prescribed Ramipril capsules 10mg x1 a day in the a.m. for high blood pressure/hypertension 3-years ago. Once a day wasn't sufficiently effective after 3 months, so he upped it to 10mg x2 a day morning and evening. That did the trick. It took a couple of weeks to start working well, but it did start working well and it still does to this day. Lowered my blood pressure significantly and has kept it down thus far. At the end of about the first month of the x2 per day dosage I developed the occasional throat tickle and dry cough, which would hit without warning at random times, but a little more often in the late afternoon/evening. That lasted about 3 months or so, then the throat tickle and dry cough essentially disappeared. Once in a great while I get a throat tickle and the dry cough, but it's now quite rare and the occasional instance could be something else entirely like my seasonal allergies or dust allergies acting up which has been a once in awhile occurrence since I was a preteen. All in all Ramipril 10mg x2 a day has worked pretty well for me with no ongoing routine side effects that I am cognizant of. Everything works just as fine as before -- if you catch my drift. No issues down there at all due to this medication.Read More Read Less

Took it 10 months, developed terrible cough, dizziness, headaches, nausea, low energy, anxiety. BP grew worse. Now I have protein leakage in kidney as well. Weaned myself off!

Although I have only been taking ramipril for a few days I have noticed a difference in how I am feeling although my blood pressure has come down it is still in the high range. Only time will tell how effective this drug is for me.
