Symptoms of peripheral arterial disease: ramipril

About ramipril

Ramipril is licensed in the UK to treat high blood pressure (hypertension) and heart failure, and to reduce the risk of heart attacks, strokes and kidney problems. It is taken by mouth as a tablet or liquid.

Ramipril is sometimes used to treat leg pain during exercise (intermittent claudication) in people with peripheral arterial disease, but it isn't licensed in the UK for this. Use in this way is therefore off‑label.
