INDICATIONS & USAGE SECTION
1.1 Hypertension
Ramipril capsules are indicated for the treatment of hypertension.
They may be used alone or in
combination with thiazide diuretics.
1.3 Heart Failure Post-Myocardial Infarction
Ramipril capsules are indicated in stable patients who have
demonstrated clinical signs of
congestive heart failure within the first few days after sustaining
acute myocardial infarction.
Administration of ramipril capsules to such patients has been shown to
decrease the risk of death
(principally cardiovascular death) and to decrease the risks of
failure-related hospitalization and
progression to severe/resistant heart failure [see Clinical Studies (
14.3)].
DOSAGE & ADMINISTRATION SECTION
2.1 Hypertension
The recommended initial dose for patients not receiving a diuretic is
2.5 mg once a day. Adjust dose
according to blood pressure response. The usual maintenance dosage
range is 2.5 mg to 20 mg per
day administered as a single dose or in two equally divided doses. In
some patients treated once
daily, the antihypertensive effect may diminish toward the end of the
dosing interval. In such patients,
consider an increase in dosage or twice daily administration. If blood
pressure is not controlled with
ramipril capsules alone, a diuretic can be added.
2.3 Heart Failure Post-Myocardial Infarction
For the treatment of post-myocardial infarction patients who have
shown signs of congestive heart
failure, the recommended starting dose of ramipril capsules is 2.5 mg
twice daily (5 mg per day). A
patient who becomes hypotensive at this dose may be switched to 1.25
mg twice daily. After one
week at the starting dose, increase dose (if tolerated) toward a
target dose of 5 mg twice daily, with
dosage increases bein
