[QUOTE="lovinglife, post: 2523507, member: 22428"] Ramipril can be prescribed in small doses for kidney protection even if you have ok blood pressure. I had protein in my urine and my kidney function wasn’t 100%, I was given ramipril but it gave me an annoying cough so now I’m on Candesartan and I’m fine with that, it did bring my blood pressure down a little bit from 130/70 something to 124/68 and that’s no bad thing. I’m not telling you to take it without questioning but I don’t think it’s been explained to you very well by your GP why you need to take it. EDITED TO CORRECT THE NAME OF THE MEDICATION :banghead: Very sorry about that and thanks to [USER=196898]@Oldvatr[/USER] for pointing it out :) [/QUOTE]
