Effect of Ramipril
Ramipril belongs to the drug group of ACE inhibitors. The substance is given in a non-active form and must first be converted into the active form of ramiprilat in the body. Such agents are called prodrugs.
Once converted into ramiprilat, the drug inhibits the production of the body’s blood pressure-boosting hormone angiotensin. In addition, Ramipril promotes the excretion of water and salts from the body, which reduces the blood volume and thereby pressure from the vessels. In addition, Ramipril inhibits the breakdown of bradikinin, an endogenous substance that relaxes the blood vessels. All of these effects together produce a significant reduction in blood pressure.
Ramipril only needs to be taken once a day. Its effect lasts about 48 hours. However, it does not start until one or two hours after taking it.
The active substance is predominantly excreted via the kidney. Therefore, the attending physician should reduce the dose in patients with severe renal impairment and urinary output.

But even during the day coughing fits to breathlessness and wrestle for air. Dry neck is also a huge problem. First with nose drops that moisturize everything in the ENT area treated, at times some relief, then always worse. At the moment it is so bad that my doctor told us to stop ramipiril, it must be the cause of the irritating cough and dry throat. After taking Candecor no improvement in cough and dryness. Today I have again received a new drug, the name I do not know now to report, since the pharmacy must first get me the drug. I hope this medication will free me from the terrible coughing fits and dryness. Lg. And all the others here get well soon.

Ramipril for High blood pressure
I was diagnosed with high blood pressure without visible organic damage. Because of my type 1 diabetes mellitus, I was prescribed ramipril. I had just overcome a cold with a cough. I easily get a cough. After two days began to cough, which was getting worse. Drinking does not help, just sucking sweets. At night, I was awake by coughing again and again. I could only talk with cough interruptions. In addition, I sing a lot and could not sing easily through coughing fits. After 10 days I dropped Ramipril and I get Valsartan from tomorrow. I hope to better tolerate this remedy. Apart from that, apart from slight dry mouth, I did not have any complaints, the blood pressure did not change noticeably during this time, only the diastolic value, which is good anyway, continued to decline.
