I have a rash and the more i read about Altace the more i think it is causing it. My doctor has not mentioned anything about Altace causing it. Im not convinced.My mother takes altace and has had a rash on her scalp, neck, and face shortly after she started the medication. The doctor said that altace should not cause a rash. Has anyone else experienced this?

I have had really bad migraines with this medicine. Also, I am ALWAYS tired. Yesterday I collapsed on the floor at home after exercising at the gym and having a blood glucose reading of 120. I am a mother of four and can't function with this medicine. |

I walk everyday and lift everyday but still get bad leg cramps |

I have practically the same condition. I had wondered if it was the generic Altace and now I think it is! I hope you're better. Please let us know how you are and what answers you may have found.

I just started ramipril and water pills...my BP was 200/90 I don't know it now and I am getting a dry scratchy throat an lathargic. Everywhere I read I see I am not on a good combo. Most my life I have had low or normal BP with the odd high one. I think I should stop the ramipril and get a monitor and see what is ir now. Maybe it was a thing?

I was 40yrs old when myy doc started me on 5mg altace then 10 and then 20mg/day, because my diastolic was getting up to 80 sometimes 85+.
When I moved to France the Doc reduced altace to 5mg and added a diuretic. Now, I am 55 and my pressure is less than 110/70.. No side effects, but I decided to stop taking it and log carefully the BP since it was normal/low. For a month now it hovers around 110/70. If I ask the my Doc I know he is going to say to stay on. But why is it nessecary if my BP is always normal (sometimes low) w/o the pill ? How can it be dangerous ? |

I can recommend a reputable pharmacy popular-meds.com/altace.htm... I recieved my pills within one week of ordering them.

Hi Angie,
I have had a similar problem to yours after taking ramipril. I too have suffered excruciating stomach pain and swelling in my neck together with irregular heartbeat and massively increased BP. I am trying to build up some evidence to support my contention that ramipril is the cause as Doctors simply refuse to act on the information they get back from their patients.I hope you have resolved your problems but any help in supplying authentic cases of severe side effects would be helpful.I intend to set up a website to draw attention to this problem and hopefully increase awareness of the potential harm this drug can cause. Meanwhile any person reading this who has suffered a severe reaction please help by emailing me details at cliveh7@gmail.com Kind Regards, Clive.

I have been on Altace for over 10 years. I had a heart attack at age 34 and have been on 10mg for the most part. I was smoking after 7 years of quitting......I know....what an idiot!!!
I quit smoking again and 3 weeks ago, stopped taking Altace. I can't afford either anymore....lol I feel great and have more energy than ever. I went for a 16K hike the other day and felt great. I figure the percentage of chance that I brought my target down by quitting the smokes has offset the negative effect that stopping the Altace will have and I can live with that. |
Jows the Tinnitus now. I've been on Altace for over 5 years because of a heart attack. I have since developed high end hrearing loss and a severe case of tinnitus. Going to get off this medication and see what happens. It seems to say everyewhere that his is a side effect. Just wondering if it subsided after you stopped taking the medication. |

I've taken Altace along with hydrochlorothiazide for almost 20 years and have had no side effects. I tried the generic ramipril for two separate 90 day periods and it was not as effective as my BP rose. Using PubMed I found articles that indicate that ramipril does not contain all of the ingredients in Altace in 25% of the studies/samples.

The coming New Moon in Gemini on June 19 will see progress of one kind or another, though this unusual eclipse cycle will have a far-reaching effect.
