Is It Safe To Take Ramipril With Apple Cider Vinegar?

Answer

Thanks for your question!

There is no known interaction between ramipril (generic for Altace) and apple cider vinegar. We have this listed on our drug-herbal interaction checker (Apple Cider Vinegar - Ramipril Interaction Details | HelloPharmacist).

While we do list some interactions with apple cider vinegar (e.g., with antidiabetic drugs), it isn't known to affect how our bodies absorb or metabolize ramipril. Apple cider vinegar isn't known to significantly affect blood pressure either.

I do want to point out that we list apple cider vinegar as interacting with blood pressure medications that have a diuretic effect (such as furosemide and hydrochlorothiazide). This is based on studies reporting that apple cider vinegar can lower potassium levels, which many diuretics can also do.

Final Words

If you plan on starting a new dietary supplement and you take prescription medications, I highly recommend speaking with your doctor first so you can be appropriately monitored.
