Tell your doctor immediately if you are pregnant or planning to become pregnant, so this capsule can be stopped as soon as possible. Do not take this medicine during pregnancy unless specifically advised by your doctor.

Breast Feeding

Driving

Driving

This medicine may cause dizziness, especially when first starting treatment. Avoid driving or operating machinery until you know how it affects you.

Alcohol

Alcohol may lower blood pressure further and increase dizziness. Limit alcohol consumption while taking this medicine.

Directions for Use

Take this capsule as a whole with sufficient water. You can take it with or without food, but take it at the same time each day for best results. Rise slowly from a sitting or lying position to avoid dizziness.

Storage and disposal

Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat. Keep out of reach of children. Dispose of unused capsule at your local pharmacy or as per local guidelines.

Quick Tips

Dosage

Overdose

Overdose may cause severe dizziness, weakness, or fainting. If you think you have taken too much of this medicine, contact your doctor immediately or visit the nearest hospital.

Missed a Dose

If you missed any dose of medicine, take it as soon as you remember. If it's time for your next dose, then skip the missed dose and continue with your regular dose schedule. Do not take a double dose of medicine to compensate for the missed one.

How does this medicine work?

Amlodipine relaxes blood vessels by blocking the entry of calcium into vessel walls, allowing blood to flow more smoothly. Ramipril blocks a chemical called angiotensin II that normally tightens blood vessels, causing them to relax further. Together, these medicines significantly reduce blood pressure and decrease the workload on your heart.

Interactions

Interactions with other medicines

Inform your doctor about all other medicines you are taking. Some medicines can affect how this capsule works. In particular, if you are taking medicines for pain relief like ibuprofen, potassium supplements, or other blood pressure medicines, tell your doctor. Combining these may increase the risk of kidney problems or high potassium levels in your blood.

Interactions with food items

Avoid potassium-rich foods such as bananas, orange juice, potatoes, and broccoli while taking this medicine, as it may increase potassium levels in your blood.
