Kann ich Ramipril und Ibuprofen zusammen einnehmen?

You should avoid taking ramipril und Ibuprofen together. Always consult your doctor or pharmacist before combining them.

When taking ramipril you should:

• Avoid taking ibuprofen.

• Machen Sie Paracetamol if pain relief is needed.

• If you must take ibuprofen, use the lowest dose for the shortest time possible and speak to your GP.

Warum das passiert

Ramipril works by relaxing blood vessels and helping the kidneys filter fluid. Ibuprofen blocks natural chemicals called prostaglandins that help keep the blood vessels in the kidneys open.

When both drugs are taken together, the blood flow to the kidneys can drop too low, potentially leading to kidney strain or failure.

Ibuprofen also causes the body to retain salt and water, which opposes the blood-pressure-lowering effect of ramipril.

You may be experiencing an interaction between ramipril and ibuprofen if you have:

• Swelling in your ankles, feet, or hands.

• Unexplained fatigue or weakness.

• Dizziness or lightheadedness.

• Reduced urination or dark-coloured pee.

• Unusual shortness of breath.

These can be signs that your kidneys, blood pressure, or fluid balance are being affected.

If you notice these side effects, you should:

• Stop taking ibuprofen (unless a doctor has specifically told you it’s safe).

• Contact your doctor or pharmacist immediately.

• Monitor your symptoms and seek urgent care if they worsen (e.g., severe swelling, very little urine, or extreme dizziness)

• Do not adjust your ramipril dose on your own.

These steps help prevent serious kidney or heart problems.

Schwangerschaft

You must not take ramipril if you are pregnant or planning to become pregnant as it can cause serious harm to the developing baby, particularly affecting their kidneys.

Schwangerschaft (drittes Trimester)

Nehmen Sie kein Ibuprofen ein, wenn Sie mehr als 6 Monate schwanger sind, da es beim ungeborenen Kind ernsthafte Herz- und Nierenprobleme sowie Komplikationen während der Geburt verursachen kann.

Asthma

Do not take ibuprofen if you have asthma that is worsened by Aspirin or other Nichtsteroidale entzündungshemmende Medikamente (NSAIDs), as it can trigger a life-threatening asthma attack.

Nierenfunktion

Taking these two medicines together significantly increases the risk of sudden kidney failure. This risk is even higher if you are also taking a 'water tablet' (diuretic).

Magengeschwüre oder Blutungen

Vermeiden Sie Ibuprofen, wenn Sie jemals ein Magengeschwür, eine Perforation oder Blutungen hatten, da es ernsthafte Schäden an der Magenschleimhaut verursachen kann.

Alkohol

Drinking alcohol while taking ramipril can increase the blood pressure-lowering effect of the medicine, which may make you feel dizzy, lightheaded, or faint. It is best to keep alcohol intake to a minimum, especially when you first start taking ramipril or if your dose is increased.

It is best to avoid or strictly limit alcohol while taking ibuprofen. Combining alcohol with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) like ibuprofen increases the risk of irritation to your stomach lining and can lead to stomach ulcers or bleeding.

Salzersatzstoffe (Kaliumreich)

Ramipril can increase the levels of potassium in your blood. Using salt substitutes that contain potassium (such as Lo-Salt) can cause your potassium levels to become too high. This can lead to serious heart problems. Check with your pharmacist before using these products.

Essen (Allgemein)

Es wird empfohlen, Ibuprofen mit Nahrung oder einem Glas Milch einzunehmen, um das Risiko von Magenbeschwerden oder Verdauungsstörungen zu verringern.
