Can Ramipril Be Taken In Place Of Losartan?

Posted on Mon, 26 Dec 2016

Question: I'm on vacation and just run out of Losartan 100mg - can I take my husband's Ramipril 10mg instead. It would only be for one day. I'm also on Glipizide 5mg?

If so, should I take more than one as I think it weaker than what I'm on?

I also take Dil Tiazem CD 120mg. Is it still OK to take Ramipril. It's just for one day.
Thanks
