REMINIL 1.25

REMINIL 1.25 is a prescription tablet containing ramipril (1.25 mg), marketed in India by Steris Healthcare Pvt. Ltd.

Ramipril belongs to the ACE (angiotensin-converting enzyme) inhibitor class. Your body produces a hormone called angiotensin II, which tightens blood vessels and makes the body hold on to salt and water, both of which raise blood pressure. Ramipril reduces the production of angiotensin II. As a result:

• Blood vessels relax and widen, so blood flows with less resistance
• Blood pressure falls
• The heart works with less strain
• Salt and water retention reduces
• Kidney blood vessels are protected, particularly in people with diabetes

Product Information 

Why Is Ramipril Important?

1. It lowers blood pressure and protects organs: Controlling blood pressure reduces the long-term risk of stroke, heart attack, heart failure and kidney disease. Ramipril does this while also offering protective effects on the heart and blood vessels.

2. It supports a safe, gradual start: Starting an ACE inhibitor at a low dose helps reduce the chance of sudden blood pressure drops and dizziness, especially in older adults and in people on diuretics. The 1.25 mg strength makes cautious titration possible.

3. It helps the failing heart: In heart failure, ramipril reduces the load on the heart and has been shown to improve survival and symptoms when used appropriately.

4. It protects the kidneys: In people with diabetes or certain kidney conditions, ACE inhibitors can slow the progression of kidney damage by reducing pressure inside the kidney's filtering units.

5. It lowers the risk of future cardiac events: In high-risk patients, long-term ramipril has been shown in large clinical trials to reduce the chances of heart attack, stroke and cardiovascular death.

6. It is well established and affordable: Ramipril has decades of clinical experience, making it a trusted option for lifelong therapy.

Precautions: What You Should Know Before Using It

Tell your doctor about your full medical history before starting ramipril.

Do not use if

• You are pregnant or planning pregnancy. ACE inhibitors can harm the developing baby, particularly in the second and third trimesters. Inform your doctor immediately if you become pregnant.
• You have had angioedema (swelling of the face, lips, tongue or throat), whether linked to an ACE inhibitor, hereditary, or of unknown cause.
• You are allergic to ramipril, other ACE inhibitors or any ingredient in the tablet.
• You have narrowing of the arteries supplying both kidneys, or of the artery to a single kidney.
• You have very low blood pressure or conditions where blood pressure must not fall, such as certain heart valve narrowing.
• You are taking or have recently taken sacubitril/valsartan. A gap of at least 36 hours is generally required.
• You have diabetes or kidney impairment and are taking aliskiren.
• You are on certain dialysis membranes or LDL apheresis, which can trigger severe reactions with ACE inhibitors.

Use with caution and medical supervision if

• You have kidney or liver problems.
• You have heart failure, recent heart attack or aortic or mitral valve narrowing.
• You are dehydrated or have severe vomiting or diarrhoea, which can drop blood pressure and strain the kidneys.
• You are taking diuretics ("water tablets"). Low-dose starts are especially important.
• You use potassium supplements, salt substitutes or potassium-sparing diuretics, as potassium can rise too high.
• You have diabetes, as blood sugar may drop when combined with diabetes medicines.
• You are on a low-salt diet.
• You are elderly, who may be more sensitive to dizziness.
• You are breastfeeding. Discuss with your doctor.
• You are going for surgery or anaesthesia. Inform your surgeon and anaesthetist.
• You have collagen vascular disease or low white blood cell counts.
