Renpril 5 Tablet 10 contains ramipril (5 mg) as the active ingredient. It works in the human body in the following manner:

Ramipril inhibits the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE), which converts angiotensin I to angiotensin II in your body. Angiotensin II is a substance that stimulates the release of vasopressin, which causes vasoconstriction (narrowing of blood vessels) and increases blood pressure.
By blocking ACE, ramipril leads to the widening (vasodilation) of blood vessels, helping reduce blood pressure.
It also reduces the secretion of the aldosterone hormone from the adrenal gland, leading to decreased sodium and fluid retention.
The medicine also increases the kidneys' excretion of sodium and water, which helps reduce blood volume and pressure.

Pregnancy

Renpril 5 Tablet 10 is contraindicated in pregnancy, especially during the second and third trimesters, as it can harm your unborn baby. If you are pregnant or planning to conceive, consult your doctor before taking this medicine.

Breastfeeding

This medicine is contraindicated while breastfeeding as ramipril may pass into breast milk and affect your nursing infant. Always consult your doctor to understand the potential risks and benefits if you are nursing.

Alcohol

Avoid consuming alcohol while on this medication as it may increase the risk of side effects such as dizziness, fatigue, or low blood pressure. Always consult your doctor regarding alcohol intake.

Liver

If you have liver health issues, be cautious while taking this medicine. This medicine may affect your liver function. Always discuss this with your doctor before starting this medication.

Kidney

For those with kidney health issues, caution is advised when using this tablet. Always consult your doctor before starting this medicine.

Using Machines & Driving

Renpril 5 Tablet 10 could cause dizziness or fatigue in some individuals. If you experience these side effects, avoid driving or operating heavy machinery until you feel better.

Allergy

This medicine is contraindicated if you have ever had an allergic reaction to ramipril or any other ACE inhibitors. Always discuss your allergies with your doctor.

Children

This medicine is not indicated for use in children below 18 years. Always consult your doctor before giving any medicine to a child.
