How Long Does Ramipril Take To Lower BP?

should notice some decline within 4 hours
Detailed Answer:
HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Ramipril belongs to the family of drugs called ACE inhibitors. They inhibit or prevent the action of a chemical called ACE (abbreviation)
All traditional medications have to undergo a number of studies before release. These studies provide a lot of information including time of the peak levels after using the medication.
For ramipril, the levels peak after 1 hour. After 4 hours they have inhibited 60 to 80% of the activity of ACE (involved in causing increased blood pressure).
This means that within 4 hours you should note some decrease in blood pressure though it may be mild.
Normally it takes 4 days of using the medication daily for a steady level of the drug to be continuously present in the body.
I hope this helps, feel free to ask any other questions
