I am taking ramapril for medium blood pressure early last year, but I am now on a healthier diet and would like to come off the ramapril. How do I wean myself off these tablets, I am not happy with the contents of the capsule like sls and want to keep my blood pressure down naturally and healthily.
Starting antihypertensives is second line to manage high BP. Lifestyle management and exercise should be tried first. In your case if you have already exhausted these general measures before starting April then stopping April may not go to help but if you started April before trying the general lifestyle measures then stopping April may help to achieve your BP target for mild hypertension. In that case the April should be stopped gradually tapering down the dose over a week while already on lifestyle measures.
