Can I take 10 and Ramipril together?

Why this happens

Ramipril works by relaxing blood vessels, while ibuprofen can cause the body to retain salt and water and constrict blood flow to the kidneys. When used together, they can put a lot of strain on the kidneys and prevent them from filtering waste properly.

You should avoid taking ibuprofen while on ramipril unless your doctor specifically tells you to. If you need pain relief, paracetamol is usually a safer choice. If you have already taken them together and notice you are passing less urine than usual, have swelling in your ankles, or feel unusually tired, contact your GP.
