I read the reviews here prior to taking Ramipril and almost refused to take it because of the number of negative reviews. Let me say in the one month I have now taken the 2.5mg of Ramipril, I have had absolutly no adverse side effects. Both the upper and lower readings on my BP are down from 12 to 20 points. Perhaps only those with side effects give reviews so I felt compelled to share my posi...

I've only used ramipril for 8 days. 2.5 mg. 2xdaily. The cricket sound is getting louder in my ear and I find myself clearing my throat frequently, without mucus. I'm not experiencing any congestion. It has lowered my bp. I'm female, age 74. I am concerned about these side effects.

The only negative is that I have a dry cough since taking Ramipril 5 mg. Thought it was allergies, but after reading most users also have a dry cough, which actually gags me before it stops. This cough wakes me several times at night. I have been taking this drug for 2 1/2 months and have had this cough constantly since. It is very effective and easy to use.

I started taking it right after my heart attack 36 months ago and it has done a great job without any side effects. I take 2.5 mg per day.

This drug should be removed from the market. It causes nothing but harm. I had a very bad coughs for five months during the period of taking this DAMNED drug without realizing it. It's damaged my lung and my respiratory system, inflamation in the throat. I was shivering in the early morning between 4 and 5 o'clock while I was sleeping, and coughed "my lung's out!". I gasped for air whenever I was on the airplane, train, or the environment that's stuffy, and coughed till about to throw up. I felt like I was choking to death. I am regret that I've taken this drug. I wonder who's manufactured this product, it causes more harm than good. It should be removed from the market before it causes serious damage to a human body. For God's sake, I have a high blood pressure, not a LUNG CANCER!!! Has the NDC been aware of the damage of this drug cause to the lung and the respiratory system. Could somebody please do something about it before major law suits and before human life is wasted away. Thanks.Read More Read Less
