CompositionRamitorva Capsule is used to reduce the risk of heart attack and stroke in adults with established heart or blood vessel disease who need several heart medicines. It is a combination medicine containing ramipril (an ACE inhibitor), atorvastatin (a statin) and aspirin (an antiplatelet).
Ramipril lowers blood pressure and protects the heart and blood vessels, atorvastatin lowers LDL cholesterol, and aspirin helps prevent clots. Combining them in one capsule can make treatment simpler. Swallow the capsule whole, preferably after a meal, as prescribed, and keep taking it even when you feel well.
A low-salt, low-fat diet, regular activity as advised, keeping a healthy weight, limiting alcohol and not smoking support heart health.
Do not take this medicine if you are pregnant, planning a pregnancy or breastfeeding, or if you have had swelling of the face, lips or throat (angioedema) with any medicine. Before starting, tell your doctor if you have kidney or liver disease, narrowing of the kidney arteries, high potassium, a stomach ulcer or bleeding, asthma triggered by aspirin, or muscle problems, and about other medicines you take, especially potassium supplements, water tablets, blood thinners and painkillers. Your doctor will check your kidney function and potassium. Seek urgent help for swelling of the face or throat, black stools or vomiting of blood. Report unexplained muscle pain, tenderness or weakness, especially with fever or dark urine, straight away. Do not stop taking this medicine unless your doctor advises you to do so.
