Ramipril
Ramipril is a prescription blood pressure medication that belongs to a group of medicines called ACE inhibitors. It works by relaxing your blood vessels, making it easier for blood to flow around your body.
We can provide Ramipril to patients who have been taking it for at least three months and need a repeat prescription.
Notice: When providing a generic product (non-branded), we use a range of manufacturers. Due to this, your medication may look different to what’s pictured.
