Renal Dose
Renal impairment:
CrCl (ml/min) Dosage Recommendation
10-30 Initially, 1.25 mg/day. Max: 5 mg/day.
30-60 Not necessary to adjust the initial dose. Max maintenance dose: 5 mg/day.
Contraindication
Hypersensitivity, bilateral renal artery stenosis, or a single kidney with unilateral renal artery stenosis. Aortic stenosis or outflow tract obstruction. History of angioedema (hereditary, idiopathic or due to previous angioedema w/ ACE inhibitors). Pregnancy and lactation.
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.
Precaution
Renal impairment, hypovolaemia, hyperkalaemia, valvular stenosis; before, during or immediately after anaesthesia. Severe resistant hypertension, elderly, peripheral vascular disease or generalised atherosclerosis. Patient Counselling Inform patients to refrain from activities involving mental alertness and physical coordination after drug intake. Monitoring Parameters Correct volume and/or salt depletion prior to treatment. Monitor BP, serum creatinine and K levels. Monitor renal function during the 1st few wk of treatment and periodically thereafter.
Lactation: Possibly excreted in breast milk; nursing not recommended
