Altace 1.25mg Capsules, containing the active ingredient ramipril, are prescribed to manage high blood pressure, heart failure, and reduce the risk of heart attacks and strokes in high-risk patients. By relaxing blood vessels, this medication helps blood flow more freely, thereby lowering blood pressure. However, like any medication, it comes with potential side effects. While many users may not experience any adverse reactions or only mild symptoms, it’s crucial to be aware of both the urgent and common side effects. Rare but severe side effects include signs of an allergic reaction, kidney problems, high potassium levels, severe dizziness or fainting, persistent cough, severe stomach pain, and liver issues. Though these are rare, they can be life-threatening and require immediate medical attention. Other possible side effects include dizziness, headache, cough, and fatigue. Seeking advice from a healthcare provider for any unusual symptoms is essential.
