OWHAT RAMIPRIL TABLETS ARE AND WHAT THEY ARE USED FOR

Ramipril Tablets contains a medicine called ramipril.This belongs to a group of medicines called ACE inhibitors (Angiotensin Converting Enzyme Inhibitors).

Ramipril works by:

• Decreasing your body's production of substances that could raise your blood pressure

• Making your blood vessels relax and widen

• Making it easier for your heart to pump blood around your body.

Ramipril can be used:

• To treat high blood pressure (hypertension)

• To reduce the risk of you having a heart attack or stroke

• To reduce the risk or delay the worsening of kidney problems (whether or not you have diabetes)

• To treat your heart when it cannot pump enough blood to the rest of your body (heart failure)

• As treatment following heart attack (myocardial infarction) complicated with heart failure.

BEFORE YOU TAKE RAMIPRIL TABLETS

Do NOT take Ramipril Tablets:

• If you are allergic (hypersensitive) to ramipril, any other aCe inhibitor medicine or any of the ingredients of Ramipril Tablets listed in section 6.

Signs of an allergic reaction may include a rash, swallowing or breathing problems, swelling of your lips, face, throat or tongue

• If you have ever had a serious allergic reaction called "angioedema'.'The signs include itching, hives (urticaria), red marks on the hands, feet and throat, swelling of the throat and tongue, swelling around the eyes and lips, difficulty breathing and swallowing • If you are having dialysis or any other type of blood filtration. Depending on the machine that is used, Ramipril may

not be suitable for you

•    If you have kidney problems where the blood supply to your kidney is reduced (renal artery stenosis)

•    During the last 6 months of pregnancy. (see section"Pregnancy and breast-feeding")

•    If your blood pressure is abnormally low or unstable. Your doctor will need to make this assessment.

Do not take Ramipril if any of the above apply to you. If you are not sure, talk to your doctor before taking Ramipril.

Take special care with Ramipril

Check with your doctor or pharmacist before taking your medicine:

•    If you have heart, liver or kidney problems

•    If you have lost a lot of body salts or fluids (through being sick (vomiting), having diarrhoea, sweating more than usual, being on a low salt diet, taking diuretics (water tablets) for a long time or having had dialysis)

•    If you are going to have treatment to reduce your allergy to bee or wasp stings (desensitization)

•    If you are going to receive an anaesthetic. This may be given for an operation or any dental work. You may need to stop your Ramipril treatment one day beforehand; ask your doctor for advice.

•    If you have high amounts of potassium in your blood (shown in blood test results)

•    If you have collagen vascular disease such as scleroderma or systemic lupus erythematosus

•    You must tell your doctor if you think that you are (or might become) pregnant. Ramipril is not recommended in the first 3 months of pregnancy, and may cause serious harm to your baby after 3 months of pregnancy (see section "Pregnancy and breast-feeding").

Children

Ramipril is not recommended for use in children and adolescents below 18 years of age because safety and efficacy of Ramipril in children has not yet been established.

If any of the above apply to you (or you are not sure), talk to your doctor before taking Ramipril.

Taking other medicines

Please tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking or have recently taken any other medicines, including medicines obtained without a prescription (including herbal medicines). This is because Ramipril can affect the way some other medicines work. Also some medicines can affect the way Ramipril works.

Please tell your doctor if you are taking any of the following medicines. They can make Ramipril work less well:

•    Medicines used to relieve pain and inflammation (e.g. Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs) such as ibuprofen or indometacin and aspirin)

•    Medicines used for the treatment of low blood pressure, shock, cardiac failure, asthma or allergies such as ephedrine, noradrenaline or adrenaline. Your doctor will need to check your blood pressure.

Please tell your doctor if you are taking

any of the following medicines. They can

increase the chance of getting side effects

if you take them with Ramipril:

•    Medicines used to relieve pain and inflammation (e.g. Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs) such as ibuprofen or indometacin and aspirin)

•    Medicines for cancer (chemotherapy)

•    Medicines to stop the rejection of organs after a transplant such as ciclosporin

•    Diuretics (water tablets) such as furosemide

•    Medicines which can increase the amount of potassium in your blood such as spironolactone, triamterene, amiloride, potassium salts and heparin (for thinning blood)

•    Steroid medicines for inflammation such as prednisolone

•    Allopurinol (used to lower the uric acid in your blood)

•    Procainamide (for heart rhythm problems).

Please tell your doctor if you are taking any of the following medicines. They may be affected by Ramipril:

•    Medicines for diabetes such as oral glucose lowering medicines and insulin. Ramipril may lower your blood sugar amounts. Check your blood sugar amounts closely while taking Ramipril

•    Lithium (for mental health problems). Ramipril may increase the amount of lithium in your blood. Your lithium amount will need to be closely checked by your doctor.

If any of the above apply to you (or you are not sure), talk to your doctor before taking Ramipril.

Taking Ramipril Tablets with food and alcohol

•    Drinking alcohol with Ramipril may make you feel dizzy or light-headed. If you are concerned about how much you can drink while you are taking Ramipril, discuss this with your doctor. Medicines used to reduce blood pressure and alcohol may mutually amplify their effect, which may cause an excessive reduction of blood pressure.

•    Ramipril may be taken with or without food.

Pregnancy and breast-feeding Pregnancy

You must tell your doctor if you think you are (or might become) pregnant. You should not take Ramipril in the first 12 weeks of pregnancy, and you must not take them at all after the 13th week as their use during pregnancy may possibly be harmful to the baby.

If you become pregnant while on Ramipril, tell your doctor immediately. A switch to a suitable alternative treatment should be carried out in advance of a planned pregnancy.

Breast-feeding

You should not take Ramipril if you are breast-feeding.

Ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice before taking any medicine.

Driving and using machines

You may feel dizzy, while taking Ramipril. This is more likely to happen when you start taking Ramipril or start taking a higher dose. If this happens, do not drive or use any tools or machines.
