Frequently asked questions
When should I take Cardace 5 – morning or night?
Either, at the same time daily. Your doctor may suggest the first dose at bedtime because of dizziness; once you know how it affects you, morning is fine.
Why do I have a dry cough on Cardace?
A persistent dry cough is a well-known side effect of ACE inhibitors like ramipril. If it is troublesome, your doctor can switch you to an ARB such as telmisartan, which rarely causes cough.
Cardace 5 vs Telma 40 – which is better?
Both lower blood pressure and protect the heart and kidneys. Ramipril has strong evidence after heart attacks and in heart failure; telmisartan is chosen when cough is a problem. Your doctor picks based on your conditions.
Can I take Cardace 5 with alcohol?
Keep it minimal. Alcohol adds to the blood pressure drop and dizziness, especially when standing up.
