The question remains: Does
ramipril work for symptoms of claudication?
Ramipril is a prodrug which is converted to its active form ramiprilat by hepatic esterases.
Renal function and requirement for dialysis in chronic nephropathy patients on longterm
ramipril: REIN follow-up trial.
All the odd study numbers were allotted to
ramipril group and even study numbers to telmisartan group respectively.
At night, he has to swallow simvastatin, used to try to prevent cardiovascular disease, clopidogrel, which inhibits blood clots in people with coronary artery disease, and more
ramipril.
In what the investigators described as the first adequately powered randomized controlled trial to demonstrate
ramipril's benefit in this patient population, the magnitude of improvement in walking performance exceeded that reported for all other drug therapies.
Two chemists in Co Donegal quoted a total price of EUR96.54 and EUR96 respectively for a month's supply of People Aspirin, Clopidogrel, Simvastatin, Bisoprolol,
Ramipril and a Glyceryl Trinitrate spray.
I promptly stopped my Altace (generic
ramipril) and in three days my problem was totally gone.
The committee opinion was based on data from nine Phase III clinical trials, involving some 7,000 patients with hypertension.The studies showed that the highest approved dose of azilsartan medoxomil (80 mg/day) resulted in significantly greater reduction in systolic blood pressure than the highest approved doses of olmesartan medoxomil (40 mg/day) and valsartan (320 mg/day) and the ACE inhibitor
ramipril (10 mg/day) in lowering both clinic and 24-hour mean blood pressure measurements.
However, dual blockade has come into disrepute after the recent Ongoing Telmisartan Alone and in Combination with
Ramipril Global Endpoint Trial (ONTARGET) trial (10) which has shown that dual blockade is more efficacious in BP reduction compared to single agent, but dual blockade was associated with more renal dysfunction with some requiring haemodialysis.
Statistically significant decreases in patients' blood pressure were also observed, with systolic and diastolic blood pressures dropping by more than 30% and 8% respectively in the
Ramipril only group, and by a further 3% to 6% in the combination group.
The finding is mainly based on the combination arm of telmisartan and
ramipril, an angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE)-inhibitor, and not on the trial arms of each compound separately.
Both groups were treated with anti-hypertensive medication
Ramipril and one group of 29 patients took Pycnogenol in addition to the
Ramipril.
On the other hand, the group taking Pycnogenol as an adjunct to
Ramipril had an average of only 39 mg per 24-hour period, a decrease of nearly double compared with anti-hypertensive medication taken alone.
