User Reviews for ramipril oral

My doctor said my hormone levels were normal,the cause for my erections not sustaining an erections are caused by the Ramipril in my system .the dose was lowered as I lost weight,Now Im down to 2.5 mg twice daily and I still cannot get an erection.

I started taking Altace in the 90's then a few months ago when the generic came out I started taking it. There were times when I thought the capsules didn't have anything in them because my blood pressure would jump to very high, like 175/96. Even on Ramipril my BP is doing the same, fluctuating. My biggest problem is getting my stress lowered. I also take Amlodipine, Atenolol, and Synthroid. I've actually had very few side effects with Ramipril. Amlodipine is extra BP med if my BP gets too high. I do have problems with my memory at times and I'm tired most of the time. I'm now taking B12 shots once a month. I think we all need to get our vitamin levels checked at least once a year. My vitamin D levels were very low and I had to take shots for that. I've not had coughing problems but keep a sore throat. I do get vertigo every once in a while. I keep meclizine with me all the time. Weight and lack of exercise play a key role in stress and tiredness. I'm working on this. I do not have any insurance right now and the cost of Ramipril is very high. If anyone knows where I can get it cheaper, please let me know.Read More Read Less

Ihave been prescribed Ramipril for nearly twelve months to treat high blood pressure. I have gradually developed a marked decrease in my sex drive, erectile dysfunction, and difficulty in achieving an orgasm. I have lost sensitivity in my genitals and can orgasm only with intense manual stimulation = more often without an erection.

Have used this med since the onset of high blood pressure. My Dr said that this will help prevent heart disease, kidney issues as I am a diabetic (well conrolled)

This drug is extremelly efficient in reduce BP, however, in my case did not last even for 6 h (higher and lower concenrations, 1.5 to 20mg). This mean after i used a clear and strong drop in BP was observed. but this drop was not maintaned for more that 6 h even a higher concentrations. This result in extremelly low BP after taking the capsule and then start going up. Up and down is not good for experience. Then i star mixing low doses of ralipril with nifedipine and is working great, even that i am not taking ramirpil anymore and was replaced totally with nifedipine. Now my BP is 100 to 110 over 70 to 80. Good drug but not lasting enough. The main side effect was extremelly fast reduction in BP (too low) and then a fat recovery. A nice point of this drugs is the multiple concentrations that you can try and ajust your own concentration. Even some times you can take a small amount before a huge barbecue (a lot of salt) to control the sibsequent unbalances. I hope that help and feel better Read More Read Less

good medication

Been taking since Sept 08 works fine but since I started taking it I have lost 16 pounds. I am not on a diet. Anyone else lose weight on this drug??

it brings my pressure under control.

My doctor put me on ramipril 10mg to see if my b/p would respond to it, it has slightly but the side effects are terrible i'm my stumach is swollen with pains and i have heart palpitations, headaches, sore throat and that dry cough is getting worse, i wont be taking it again i'm going back to the doc's tomorrow to change my medication..

have been on lisonipril and ramipril(last),i have coughed day and night for the last 3 months.with the ramipril i also have had bad headaches and stomach pain(like pancreas attacks). i don't know if this med is causing the pain in both arms but never had the pain before.bp has only dropped 10pts. on both meds,so i have quit taking.i think i am going to try the healthy eating,walking and destressing

I have used ramipril 5mg for a month and experienced vertigo when bending over or turning over in bed. Reported this to my doctor and he suggested I stop using and see if the vertigo stopped.

I have been taking Ramipril 5mg. going into the second month. I had a few days of dizziness at first. When the coughing began I wondered if it was caused by this med. After reading these comments of dry cough, I am convinced. I can't stand the coughing and it drives my husband crazy when we are sleeping. I am done taking it.

my teenage son who is a diabetic and was doing well was asked to take this medicine as his kidneys are getting damaged he is feeling miserable from the time he started taking this medicine he was other a very energetic and active child who managed his diabetes well please can someone guide me how to manage this problem

Also take Toprol XL but BP didn't decrease so now also on Ramipril 2.5. BP still not great. Developed dry cough with little rest at night.

I am taking 5mg Ramipril with 2.5mg Indapamide together about 1 hr before breakfast. Ramipril is more effective when taken with Indpamide. Indapamide excrete blood salt then Ramipril kicks the ass of the remaining aldestrone! Ref.: See research on Coversyl Plus for effectiveness of combination of ACE+Indapamide.

never really had high BP and have been taking this drug in conjunction with several others for a-fib my BP s very good around 110/70 as compared to prior 120/90 sometimes 120/80 no real side effects except occasional dry cough
