About Ramidip 2.5mg/2.5mg Tablet

Ramidip 2.5mg/2.5mg Tablet belongs to the class of 'anti-hypertensive drugs', primarily used to treat hypertension (high blood pressure). Hypertension is a medical condition, in which the blood exerts high pressure (force exerted by circulating blood) against blood vessel's walls. This condition makes the heart to work harder in pumping the blood to the whole body. Hypertension can cause severe health complications, including stroke, heart failure, heart attack and kidney failure.

Ramidip 2.5mg/2.5mg Tablet is a combination of Amlodipine (calcium channel blocker) and Ramipril (angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor). Amlodipine is used to treat high blood pressure, Prinzmetal's or variant angina (chest pain) and other conditions caused by coronary artery disease. It relaxes blood vessels, so that blood passes through them easily, thereby lowering the blood pressure. It also improves blood supply to the heart muscle to receive more oxygen and thus preventing chest pain. Ramipril  relaxes and widens the blood vessels making it easier for the heart to pump blood throughout the body, thereby lowering blood pressure. It also decreases the body’s production of certain substances that raise blood pressure.

Your doctor will advise you how often you take Ramidip 2.5mg/2.5mg Tablet based on your medical condition. In some cases, you may experience blurred vision, sweating, confusion, tiredness, stomach upset, flushing (sense of warmth in the face, ears, neck and trunk), dizziness, headache and swelling of the ankles or feet. Most of these side effects of Ramidip 2.5mg/2.5mg Tablet do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects are persistent, please reach out to your doctor.

Do not stop taking Ramidip 2.5mg/2.5mg Tablet without consulting your doctor since it may worsen your condition and increase the risk of future heart problems. Regular monitoring of blood pressure, electrolyte levels and kidney functioning is advised while taking Ramidip 2.5mg/2.5mg Tablet. Inform your doctor if you are suffering from kidney, liver or heart diseases. Please tell your doctor if you are taking any other medicines or have any allergic reactions to Ramidip 2.5mg/2.5mg Tablet. Reducing the amount of table salt (sodium chloride) in your food often relieves the body's swelling. Let your doctor know if you use any prescription and non-prescription medications you are taking, including vitamins, before starting Ramidip 2.5mg/2.5mg Tablet. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, please tell your doctor so that the dosage of Ramidip 2.5mg/2.5mg Tablet can be prescribed accordingly.

Disease/Condition Glossary

Hypertension: It is a chronic condition when blood pressure is too high. Blood pressure is defined as the amount of blood pumped by the heart and the amount of resistance exerted by the arteries against the blood flow. If the heart pumps more blood, then arteries become narrower and in turn, blood pressure becomes high. If blood pressure becomes uncontrolled, it may lead to serious heart diseases, including stroke and heart attack. Additionally, high blood pressure can also cause brain damage (stroke) and kidney failure. Blood pressure is expressed as systolic and diastolic pressures. Systolic blood pressure represents the contraction and relaxation of the heart. Diastolic pressure is exerted in the blood vessels when the heart beats and is in the resting state. Ideal blood pressure should be between 90/60mmHg and 120/80mmHg. Hypertension is detected when systolic blood pressure is more than 140mmHg, and diastolic pressure is higher than 90mmHg. Some of the symptoms of hypertension include headache, nose bleed, vomiting and chest pain.
