Renal impairment, hypovolaemia, hyperkalaemia, valvular stenosis; before, during or immediately after anaesthesia. Severe resistant hypertension, elderly, peripheral vascular disease or generalised atherosclerosis. Monitor renal function before and during treatment. Use with caution in patients with history of idiopathic or hereditary angioedema. Regular monitoring of WBC in patients with vascular collagen disorders is recommended.

Drug Mode of Action ::
Ramipril, a prodrug of ramiprilat, competitively inhibits ACE from converting angiotensin I to angiotensin II (a potent vasoconstrictor) resulting in increased plasma renin activity and reduced aldosterone (a hormone that causes water and Na retention) secretion. This promotes vasodilation thus producing a hypotensive effect and a beneficial effect in CHF.
Drug Interactions ::
May enhance hypotensive effect w/ diuretics and other antihypertensives. May increase risk of renal function deterioration w/ NSAIDs. May increase serum levels and toxicity of lithum. May increase hyperkalaemic effect w/ K-sparing diuretics and supplements. Potentially Fatal: Concomitant use w/ aliskiren aliskiren may increase the risk of hyperkalaemia, hypotension and nephrotoxicity in patients w/ diabetes or renal impairment
