Ramipril And Kidney Function

Updated

I had my kidney function tested in February and it was 85. I then started taking Ramipril & by November it had dropped to 69. Is this a known side effect of Ramipril?

According to FDA reports, Ramipril has been known to cause abnormal kidney function, kidney impairment, and acute kidney failure as side effects, along with its more typical ones, such as nausea, headache, dizziness, and hypotension.

Ref: Ramipril Information

So yes, there's a chance that this medication is causing, or contributing to this issue.

What has your doctor advised?
