Frequently asked questions FOR Topril 5mg Capsule

Ramipril

Q. I have been diagnosed with heart failure and the doctor has prescribed me Topril 5mg Capsule. Why?
Topril 5mg Capsule belongs to the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor group of drugs. It relaxes and widens the blood vessels, making it easier for the blood to pass through the vessels. As a result of this, the heart does not have to work more to push the blood. Since the workload on the heart is reduced, it is beneficial in heart failure. Additionally, it is also used to lower blood pressure and prevent stroke.
Q. Can Topril 5mg Capsule increase potassium levels? If yes, what should be done?
Topril 5mg Capsule may increase potassium levels in the blood, especially if you have uncontrolled diabetes mellitus, kidney problems, and dehydration. Potassium levels may also increase in patients using potassium salts or medicines which increase potassium levels or are aged more than 70 years of age. If you have any of these conditions and are using Topril 5mg Capsule, you need to be careful and get regular blood tests done to monitor potassium levels.
Q. When can I expect my blood pressure to be normal after starting Topril 5mg Capsule?
Topril 5mg Capsule takes a few hours to reduce high blood pressure but since there are no symptoms, you will not notice any difference. It takes a few weeks for the blood pressure to get fully controlled. Do not stop taking the medicine. Keep taking it even if you feel better or if your blood pressure is normalized.

Talk to your doctor if it bothers you or you have trouble sleeping, as another medicine may be better. Even if you stop taking Topril 5mg Capsule, the cough may take a few days to a month to go away.
