General & Family Physician, Dr. Nishad BN's Response
Hi Thank you for asking HCM. I have gone through your query. Ramipril is an ACE inhibitor used for hypertension, cardiac hypertrophy, in diabetes and kidney problems. This can cause hypotension, allergic reaction and rebound hypertension if you stop suddenly. Don't take it with out the advise of your physician. This drug is usually tolerated well for hypertension. Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear. Thanks.
