Hello,
Thanks for using Healthcaremagic.

Ramipril is a drug which belongs to category of Angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor which is clearly different from b blockers. Yes you are right to say that carvedilol is b blocker but as asked I like to inform you that you can continue your ramipril as scheduled since it is not a b blocker.

I hope this answers your question.
Thanks and regards.
