ALTACE® Tablets (ramipril)
USE IN PREGNANCY
When used in pregnancy
during the second and third trimesters, ACE inhibitors can cause injury
and even death to the developing fetus. When pregnancy is
detected, Ramipril should be discontinued as soon as possible. See WARNINGS: Fetal/neonatal
morbidity and mortality.
DESCRIPTION
Ramipril is a 2-aza-bicyclo [3.3.0]-octane-3-carboxylic
acid derivative. It is a white, crystalline substance soluble in polar
organic solvents and buffered aqueous solutions. Ramipril melts between
105°C and 112°C.
The CAS Registry
Number is 87333-19-5. Ramipril’s chemical name is (2S,3aS,6aS)-1[(S)-N-[(S)-1-Carboxy-3-phenylpropyl]
alanyl] octa hydrocyclopenta [b]pyrrole-2-carboxylic acid, 1-ethyl ester; its structural formula
is:
Its empiric formula is C23H32N2O5, and its molecular weight is 416.5.
Ramiprilat, the diacid metabolite of ramipril, is a non-sulfhydryl
angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor. Ramipril is converted to
ramiprilat by hepatic cleavage of the ester group.
ALTACE Tablets (ramipril) are supplied as tablets for oral administration
containing 1.25 mg, 2.5 mg, 5 mg and 10 mg of ramipril. The inactive
ingredients present are calcium sulphate dihydrate, pregelatinized
starch, sodium bicarbonate, and sodium stearyl fumarate. The 2.5 mg
tablet contains yellow iron oxide and FD&C yellow #6, the 5 mg
tablet contains FD&C yellow #6 and FD&C red #40, and the 10
mg tablet contains FD&C blue #2.
CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
Mechanism of Action
Ramipril and ramiprilat inhibit angiotensin-converting
enzyme (ACE) in human subjects and animals. ACE is a peptidyl dipeptidase
that catalyzes the conversion of angiotensin I to the vasoconstrictor
substance, angiotensin II. Angiotensin II also stimulates aldosterone
secretion by the adrenal cortex. Inhibition of ACE results in decreased
plasma angiotensin II, which leads to decreased vasopressor activity
and to decreased aldosterone secretion. The latter decrease may result
in a small increase of serum potassium. In hypertensive patients with
normal renal function treated with ALTACE alone for up to 56 weeks,
approximately 4% of patients during the trial had an abnormally high
serum potassium and an increase from baseline greater than 0.75 mEq/L,
and none of the patients had an abnormally low potassium and a decrease
from baseline greater than 0.75 mEq/L. In the same study, approximately
2% of patients treated with ALTACE and hydrochlorothiazide for up
to 56 weeks had abnormally high potassium values and an increase from
baseline of 0.75 mEq/L or greater; and approximately 2% had abnormally
low values and decreases from baseline of 0.75 mEq/L or greater. (See PRECAUTIONS.) Removal of angiotensin II negative feedback on renin
secretion leads to increased plasma renin activity.
The effect of ramipril on hypertension appears to result at least
in part from inhibition of both tissue and circulating ACE activity,
thereby reducing angiotensin II formation in tissue and plasma.
ACE is identical to kininase, an enzyme that degrades
bradykinin. Whether increased levels of bradykinin, a potent vasodepressor
peptide, play a role in the therapeutic effects of ALTACE remains
to be elucidated.
While the mechanism through
which ALTACE lowers blood pressure is believed to be primarily suppression
of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system, ALTACE has an antihypertensive
effect even in patients with low-renin hypertension. Although ALTACE
was antihypertensive in all races studied, black hypertensive patients
(usually a low-renin hypertensive population) had a smaller average
response to monotherapy than non-black patients.
Pharmacokinetics and Metabolism
Following oral administration of ramipril, peak plasma
concentrations of ramipril are reached within one hour. The extent
of absorption is at least 50-60% and is not significantly influenced
by the presence of food in the GI tract.
Cleavage
of the ester group (primarily in the liver) converts ramipril to its
active diacid metabolite, ramiprilat. Peak plasma concentrations of
ramiprilat are reached 2- 4 hours after drug intake. The serum protein
binding of ramipril is about 73% and that of ramiprilat about 56%; in vitro, these percentages are independent
of concentration over the range of 0.01 to 10 μg/mL.
Ramipril is almost completely metabolized to ramiprilat,
which has about 6 times the ACE inhibitory activity of ramipril, and
to the diketopiperazine ester, the diketopiperazine acid, and the
glucuronides of ramipril and ramiprilat, all of which are inactive.
After oral administration of ramipril, about 60% of the parent drug
and its metabolites is eliminated in the urine, and about 40% is found
in the feces. Drug recovered in the feces may represent both biliary
excretion of metabolites and/or unabsorbed drug, however the proportion
of a dose eliminated by the bile has not been determined. Less than
2% of the administered dose is recovered in urine as unchanged ramipril.
Blood concentrations of ramipril and ramiprilat increase
with increased dose, but are not strictly dose-proportional. The 24-hour
AUC for ramiprilat, however, is dose-proportional over the 2.5-20
mg dose range. The absolute bioavailabilities of ramipril and ramiprilat
were 28% and 44%, respectively, when 5 mg of oral ramipril was compared
with the same dose of ramipril given intravenously.
Plasma concentrations of ramiprilat decline in a triphasic manner
(initial rapid decline, apparent elimination phase, terminal elimination
phase). The initial rapid decline, which represents distribution of
the drug into a large peripheral compartment and subsequent binding
to both plasma and tissue ACE, has a half-life of 2-4 hours. Because
of its potent binding to ACE and slow dissociation from the enzyme,
ramiprilat shows two elimination phases. The apparent elimination
phase corresponds to the clearance of free ramiprilat and has a half-life
of 9-18 hours. The terminal elimination phase has a prolonged half-life
(>50 hours) and probably represents the binding/dissociation kinetics
of the ramiprilat/ACE complex. It does not contribute to the accumulation
of the drug. After multiple daily doses of ramipril 5-10 mg, the half-life
of ramiprilat concentrations within the therapeutic range was 13-17
hours.
After once-daily dosing, steady-state
plasma concentrations of ramiprilat are reached by the fourth dose.
Steady-state concentrations of ramiprilat are somewhat higher than
those seen after the first dose of ALTACE Tablets, especially at low
doses (2.5 mg), but the difference is clinically insignificant.
In patients with creatinine clearance less than 40 mL/min/1.73
m2, peak levels of ramiprilat are approximately doubled,
and trough levels may be as much as quintupled. In multiple-dose regimens,
the total exposure to ramiprilat (AUC) in these patients is 3-4 times
as large as it is in patients with normal renal function who receive
similar doses.
The urinary excretion of ramipril,
ramiprilat, and their metabolites is reduced in patients with impaired
renal function. Compared to normal subjects, patients with creatinine
clearance less than 40 mL/min/1.73 m2 had higher peak and
trough ramiprilat levels and slightly longer times to peak concentrations.
(See DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION.)
In patients with impaired liver function, the metabolism of ramipril
to ramiprilat appears to be slowed, possibly because of diminished
activity of hepatic esterases, and plasma ramipril levels in these
patients are increased about 3-fold. Peak concentrations of ramiprilat
in these patients, however, are not different from those seen in subjects
with normal hepatic function, and the effect of a given dose on plasma
ACE activity does not vary with hepatic function.
Pharmacodynamics
Single doses of ramipril of 2.5-20 mg produce approximately
60-80% inhibition of ACE activity 4 hours after dosing with approximately
40-60% inhibition after 24 hours. Multiple oral doses of ramipril
of 2.0 mg or more cause plasma ACE activity to fall by more than 90%
4 hours after dosing, with over 80% inhibition of ACE activity remaining
24 hours after dosing. The more prolonged effect of even small multiple
doses presumably reflects saturation of ACE binding sites by ramiprilat
and relatively slow release from those sites.
Pharmacodynamics and Clinical Effects
Reduction in Risk of Myocardial Infarction, Stroke, and Death
from Cardiovascular Causes
The Heart Outcomes Prevention Evaluation study (HOPE
study) was a large, multicenter, randomized, placebo controlled, 2x2
factorial design, double-blind study conducted in 9,541 patients (4,645
on ALTACE) who were 55 years or older and considered at high risk
of developing a major cardiovascular event because of a history of
coronary artery disease, stroke, peripheral vascular disease, or diabetes
that was accompanied by at least one other cardiovascular risk factor
(hypertension, elevated total cholesterol levels, low HDL levels,
cigarette smoking, or documented microalbuminuria). Patients were
either normotensive or under treatment with other antihypertensive
agents. Patients were excluded if they had clinical heart failure
or were known to have a low ejection fraction (<0.40). This study
was designed to examine the long-term (mean of five years) effects
of ALTACE (10 mg orally once a day) on the combined endpoint of myocardial
infarction, stroke or death from cardiovascular causes.
The HOPE study results showed that ALTACE (10 mg/day)
significantly reduced the rate of myocardial infarction, stroke or
death from cardiovascular causes (651/4645 vs. 826/4652, relative
risk 0.78), as well as the rates of the 3 components of the combined
endpoint.

The relative risk of the composite outcomes in the Ramipril Group
as compared with the Placebo Group was 0.78% (95% confidence interval,
0.70-0.86).
Ramipril was effective
in different demographic subgroups, (i.e., gender, age), subgroups
defined by underlying disease (e.g., cardiovascular disease, hypertension),
and subgroups defined by concomitant medication. There were insufficient
data to determine whether or not ramipril was equally effective in
ethnic subgroups.
This study was designed with
a prespecified substudy in diabetics with at least one other cardiovascular
risk factor. Effects of ramipril on the combined endpoint and its
components were similar in diabetics (n=3,577) to those in the overall
study population.

in Various Subgroups. Cerebrovascular disease was defined as stroke
or transient ischemic attacks. The size of each symbol is proportional
to the number of patients in each group. The dashed line indicates
overall relative risk.
The benefits
of ALTACE were observed among patients who were taking aspirin or
other anti-platelet agents, beta-blockers, and lipid-lowering agents
as well as diuretics and calcium channel blockers.
Hypertension
Administration of ALTACE to patients with mild to
moderate hypertension results in a reduction of both supine and standing
blood pressure to about the same extent with no compensatory tachycardia.
Symptomatic postural hypotension is infrequent, although it can occur
in patients who are salt- and/or volume-depleted. (See WARNINGS.) Use of ALTACE in combination with thiazide diuretics gives a blood
pressure lowering effect greater than that seen with either agent
alone.
In single-dose studies, doses of 5-20
mg of ALTACE lowered blood pressure within 1-2 hours, with peak reductions
achieved 3-6 hours after dosing. The antihypertensive effect of a
single dose persisted for 24 hours. In longer term (4-12 weeks) controlled
studies, once-daily doses of 2.5-10 mg were similar in their effect,
lowering supine or standing systolic and diastolic blood pressures
24 hours after dosing by about 6/4 mm Hg more than placebo. In comparisons
of peak vs. trough effect, the trough effect represented about 50-60%
of the peak response. In a titration study comparing divided (bid)
vs. qd treatment, the divided regimen was superior, indicating that
for some patients the antihypertensive effect with once-daily dosing
is not adequately maintained. (See DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION.)
In most trials, the antihypertensive
effect of ALTACE increased during the first several weeks of repeated
measurements. The antihypertensive effect of ALTACE has been shown
to continue during long-term therapy for at least 2 years. Abrupt
withdrawal of ALTACE has not resulted in a rapid increase in blood
pressure.
ALTACE has been compared with other
ACE inhibitors, beta-blockers, and thiazide diuretics. It was approximately
as effective as other ACE inhibitors and as atenolol. In both caucasians
and blacks, hydrochlorothiazide (25 or 50 mg) was significantly more
effective than ramipril.
Except for thiazides,
no formal interaction studies of ramipril with other antihypertensive
agents have been carried out. Limited experience in controlled and
uncontrolled trials combining ramipril with a calcium channel blocker,
a loop diuretic, or triple therapy (beta-blocker, vasodilator; and
a diuretic) indicate no unusual drug-drug interactions. Other ACE
inhibitors have had less than additive effects with beta adrenergic
blockers, presumably, because both drugs lower blood pressure by inhibiting
parts of the renin-angiotensin system.
ALTACE
was less effective in blacks than in caucasians. The effectiveness
of ALTACE was not influenced by age, sex, or weight.
In a baseline controlled study of 10 patients with mild essential
hypertension, blood pressure reduction was accompanied by a 15% increase
in renal blood flow. In healthy volunteers, glomerular filtration
rate was unchanged.
Heart Failure Post Myocardial Infarction
ALTACE was studied in the Acute Infarction Ramipril
Efficacy (AIRE) trial. This was a multinational (mainly European)
161-center, 2006-patient, double-blind, randomized, parallel-group
study comparing ALTACE to placebo in stable patients, 2–9 days
after an acute myocardial infarction (MI), who had shown clinical
signs of congestive heart failure (CHF) at any time after the MI.
Patients in severe (NYHA class IV) heart failure, patients with unstable
angina, patients with heart failure of congenital or valvular etiology,
and patients with contraindications to ACE inhibitors were all excluded.
The majority of patients had received thrombolytic therapy at the
time of the index infarction, and the average time between infarction
and initiation of treatment was 5 days.
Patients
randomized to ramipril treatment were given an initial dose of 2.5
mg twice daily. If the initial regimen caused undue hypotension, the
dose was reduced to 1.25 mg, but in either event doses were titrated
upward (as tolerated) to a target regimen (achieved in 77% of patients
randomized to ramipril) of 5 mg twice daily. Patients were then followed
for an average of 15 months (range 6–46).
The use of ALTACE was associated with a 27% reduction (p=0.002),
in the risk of death from any cause; about 90% of the deaths that
occurred were cardiovascular, mainly sudden death. The risks of progression
to severe heart failure and of CHF-related hospitalization were also
reduced, by 23% (p=0.017) and 26% (p=0.011), respectively. The benefits
of ALTACE therapy were seen in both genders, and they were not affected
by the exact timing of the initiation of therapy, but older patients
may have had a greater benefit than those under 65. The benefits were
seen in patients on, and not on, various concomitant medications;
at the time of randomization these included aspirin (about 80% of
patients), diuretics (about 60%), organic nitrates (about 55%), beta-blockers
(about 20%), calcium channel blockers (about 15%), and digoxin (about
12%).
INDICATIONS AND USAGE
Reduction in Risk of Myocardial Infarction, Stroke, and Death
from Cardiovascular Causes
ALTACE is indicated in patients 55 years or older
at high risk of developing a major cardiovascular event because of
a history of coronary artery disease, stroke, peripheral vascular
disease, or diabetes that is accompanied by at least one other cardiovascular
risk factor (hypertension, elevated total cholesterol levels, low
HDL levels, cigarette smoking, or documented microalbuminuria), to
reduce the risk of myocardial infarction, stroke, or death from cardiovascular
causes. ALTACE can be used in addition to other needed treatment (such
as antihypertensive, antiplatelet or lipid-lowering therapy).
Hypertension
ALTACE is indicated for the treatment of hypertension.
It may be used alone or in combination with thiazide diuretics.
In using ALTACE, consideration should be given to the
fact that another angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor, captopril,
has caused agranulocytosis, particularly in patients with renal impairment
or collagen-vascular disease. Available data are insufficient to show
that ALTACE does not have a similar risk. (See WARNINGS.)
In considering use of ALTACE, it should be noted that
in controlled trials ACE inhibitors have an effect on blood pressure
that is less in black patients than in nonblacks. In addition, ACE
inhibitors (for which adequate data are available) cause a higher
rate of angioedema in black than in non-black patients. (See WARNINGS, Angioedema.)
Heart Failure Post Myocardial Infarction
ALTACE is indicated in stable patients who have demonstrated
clinical signs of congestive heart failure within the first few days
after sustaining acute myocardial infarction. Administration of ramipril
to such patients has been shown to decrease the risk of death (principally
cardiovascular death) and to decrease the risks of failure-related
hospitalization and progression to severe/resistant heart failure.
(See CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY, Heart Failure
Post Myocardial Infarction for details and limitations
of the survival trial.)
CONTRAINDICATIONS
ALTACE Tablets are contraindicated in patients who
are hypersensitive to this product or any other angiotensin converting
enzyme inhibitor (e.g., a patient who has experienced angioedema during
therapy with any other ACE inhibitor).
WARNINGS
Anaphylactoid and Possibly Related Reactions
Presumably because angiotensin-converting enzyme
inhibitors affect the metabolism of eicosanoids and polypeptides,
including endogenous bradykinin, patients receiving ACE inhibitors
(including ALTACE) may be subject to a variety of adverse reactions,
some of them serious.
Head and Neck Angioedema
Patients with a history of angioedema unrelated to
ACE inhibitor therapy may be at increased risk of angioedema while
receiving an ACE inhibitor. (See also CONTRAINDICATIONS.)
Angioedema of the face, extremities, lips, tongue, glottis,
and larynx has been reported in patients treated with angiotensin
converting enzyme inhibitors. Angioedema associated with laryngeal
edema can be fatal. If laryngeal stridor or angioedema of the face,
tongue, or glottis occurs, treatment with ALTACE should be discontinued
and appropriate therapy instituted immediately. Where there is involvement of the tongue, glottis, or larynx, likely
to cause airway obstruction, appropriate therapy, e.g., subcutaneous
epinephrine solution 1:1,000 (0.3 mL to 0.5 mL) should be promptly
administered. (See ADVERSE REACTIONS.)
Intestinal Angioedema
Intestinal angioedema has been reported in patients
treated with ACE inhibitors. These patients presented with abdominal
pain (with or without nausea or vomiting); in some cases there was
no prior history of facial angioedema and C-1 esterase levels were
normal. The angioedema was diagnosed by procedures including abdominal
CT scan or ultrasound, or at surgery, and symptoms resolved after
stopping the ACE inhibitor. Intestinal angioedema should be included
in the differential diagnosis of patients on ACE inhibitors presenting
with abdominal pain.
In a large U.S. postmarketing
study, angioedema (defined as reports of angio, face, larynx, tongue,
or throat edema) was reported in 3/1523 (0.20%) of black patients
and in 8/8680 (0.09%) of white patients. These rates were not different
statistically.
Anaphylactoid
reactions during desensitization:
Two patients undergoing desensitizing treatment with hymenoptera
venom while receiving ACE inhibitors sustained life-threatening anaphylactoid
reactions. In the same patients, these reactions were avoided when
ACE inhibitors were temporarily withheld, but they reappeared upon
inadvertent rechallenge.
Anaphylactoid reactions during membrane exposure:
Anaphylactoid reactions have been reported in patients
dialyzed with high-flux membranes and treated concomitantly with an
ACE inhibitor. Anaphylactoid reactions have also been reported in
patients undergoing low-density lipoprotein apheresis with dextran
sulfate absorption.
Hypotension
ALTACE can cause symptomatic hypotension, after either
the initial dose or a later dose when the dosage has been increased.
Ramipril has been only rarely associated with hypotension in uncomplicated
hypertensive patients. Symptomatic hypotension is most likely to occur
in patients who have been volume- and/or salt-depleted as a result
of prolonged diuretic therapy, dietary salt restriction, dialysis,
diarrhea, or vomiting. Volume and/or salt depletion should be corrected
before initiating therapy with ALTACE.
In patients
with congestive heart failure, with or without associated renal insufficiency,
ACE inhibitor therapy may cause excessive hypotension, which may be
associated with oliguria or azotemia and, rarely, with acute renal
failure and death. In such patients, ALTACE therapy should be started
under close medical supervision; they should be followed closely for
the first 2 weeks of treatment and whenever the dose of ramipril or
diuretic is increased.
If hypotension occurs,
the patient should be placed in a supine position and, if necessary,
treated with intravenous infusion of physiological saline. ALTACE
treatment usually can be continued following restoration of blood
pressure and volume.
Hepatic Failure
Rarely, ACE inhibitors, including ALTACE, have been
associated with a syndrome that starts with cholestatic jaundice and
progresses to fulminant hepatic necrosis and (sometimes) death. The
mechanism of this syndrome is not understood. Patients receiving ACE
inhibitors who develop jaundice or marked elevations of hepatic enzymes
should discontinue the ACE inhibitor and receive appropriate medical
follow-up.
Neutropenia/Agranulocytosis
As with other ACE inhibitors, rarely, a mild- in
isolated cases severe- reduction in the red blood cell count and hemoglobin
content, white blood cell or platelet count may develop. In isolated
cases, agranulocytosis, pancytopenia, and bone marrow depression may
occur. Hematological reactions to ACE inhibitors are more likely to
occur in patients with collagen vascular disease (e.g. systemic lupus
erythematosus, scleroderma) and renal impairment. Monitoring of white
blood cell counts should be considered in patients with collagen vascular
disease, especially if the disease is associated with impaired renal
function.
Fetal/Neonatal
Morbidity and Mortality
ACE inhibitors can cause fetal and neonatal morbidity
and death when administered to pregnant women. Several dozen cases
have been reported in the world literature. When pregnancy is detected,
ACE inhibitors should be discontinued as soon as possible.
The use of ACE inhibitors during the second and third
trimesters of pregnancy has been associated with fetal and neonatal
injury, including hypotension, neonatal skull hypoplasia, anuria,
reversible or irreversible renal failure, and death. Oligohydramnios
has also been reported, presumably resulting from decreased fetal
renal function; oligohydramnios in this setting has been associated
with fetal limb contractures, craniofacial deformation, and hypoplastic
lung development. Prematurity, intrauterine growth retardation, and
patent ductus arteriosus have also been reported, although it is not
clear whether these occurrences were due to the ACE inhibitor exposure.
These adverse effects do not appear to have resulted from
intrauterine ACE inhibitor exposure that has been limited to the first
trimester. However, in a single retrospective epidemiological study,
infants whose mothers had taken an ACE inhibitor during their first
trimester of pregnancy appeared to have an increased risk of major
congenital malformations compared with infants whose mothers had not
undergone first trimester exposure to ACE inhibitor drugs. The number
of cases of birth defects is small and the findings of this study
have not yet been repeated. Consider alternative treatment options
for patients planning pregnancy and if patients become pregnant, physicians
should make every effort to discontinue the use of ALTACE as soon
as possible.
Rarely (probably less often than
once in every thousand pregnancies), no alternative to ACE inhibitors
will be found. In these rare cases, the mothers should be apprised
of the potential hazards to their fetuses, and serial ultrasound examinations
should be performed to assess the intraamniotic environment.
If oligohydramnios is observed, ALTACE should be discontinued
unless it is considered life-saving for the mother. Contraction stress
testing (CST), a non-stress test (NST), or biophysical profiling (BPP)
may be appropriate, depending upon the week of pregnancy. Patients
and physicians should be aware, however, that oligohydramnios may
not appear until after the fetus has sustained irreversible injury.
Infants with histories of in utero exposure to ACE inhibitors should be closely observed
for hypotension, oliguria, and hyperkalemia. If oliguria occurs, attention
should be directed toward support of blood pressure and renal perfusion.
Exchange transfusion or dialysis may be required as means of reversing
hypotension and/or substituting for disordered renal function. ALTACE
which crosses the placenta can be removed from the neonatal circulation
by these means, but limited experience has not shown that such removal
is central to the treatment of these infants.
No teratogenic effects of ALTACE (ramipril) were seen in studies
of pregnant rats, rabbits, and cynomolgus monkeys. On a body surface
area basis, the doses used were up to approximately 400 times (in
rats and monkeys) and 2 times (in rabbits) the recommended human dose.
PRECAUTIONS
Impaired Renal Function: As a consequence of
inhibiting the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system, changes in renal
function may be anticipated in susceptible individuals. In patients
with severe congestive heart failure whose renal function may depend
on the activity of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system, treatment
with angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors, including ALTACE, may
be associated with oliguria and/or progressive azotemia and (rarely)
with acute renal failure and/or death.
In hypertensive
patients with unilateral or bilateral renal artery stenosis, increases
in blood urea nitrogen and serum creatinine may occur. Experience
with another angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor suggests that
these increases are usually reversible upon discontinuation of ALTACE
and/or diuretic therapy. In such patients renal function should be
monitored during the first few weeks of therapy. Some hypertensive
patients with no apparent pre-existing renal vascular disease have
developed increases in blood urea nitrogen and serum creatinine, usually
minor and transient, especially when ALTACE has been given concomitantly
with a diuretic. This is more likely to occur in patients with pre-existing
renal impairment. Dosage reduction of ALTACE and/or discontinuation
of the diuretic may be required.
Evaluation of the hypertensive patient should always
include assessment of renal function. (See DOSAGE
AND ADMINISTRATION.)
Hyperkalemia: In clinical trials, hyperkalemia (serum potassium greater
than 5.7 mEq/L) occurred in approximately 1% of hypertensive patients
receiving ALTACE. In most cases, these were isolated values, which
resolved despite continued therapy. None of these patients was discontinued
from the trials because of hyperkalemia. Risk factors for the development
of hyperkalemia include renal insufficiency, diabetes mellitus, and
the concomitant use of potassium-sparing diuretics, potassium supplements,
and/or potassium-containing salt substitutes, which should be used
cautiously, if at all, with ALTACE. (See Drug Interactions.)
Cough: Presumably due to the
inhibition of the degradation of endogenous bradykinin, persistent
nonproductive cough has been reported with all ACE inhibitors, always
resolving after discontinuation of therapy. ACE inhibitor-induced
cough should be considered in the differential diagnosis of cough.
Impaired Liver Function: Since ramipril is primarily
metabolized by hepatic esterases to its active moiety, ramiprilat,
patients with impaired liver function could develop markedly elevated
plasma levels of ramipril. No formal pharmacokinetic studies have
been carried out in hypertensive patients with impaired liver function.
However, since the renin-angiotensin system may be activated in patients
with severe liver cirrhosis and/or ascites, particular caution should
be exercised in treating these patients.
Surgery/Anesthesia: In patients undergoing surgery or during anesthesia with
agents that produce hypotension, ramipril may block angiotensin II
formation that would otherwise occur secondary to compensatory renin
release. Hypotension that occurs as a result of this mechanism can
be corrected by volume expansion.
Information for Patients
Pregnancy: Female patients of childbearing age
should be told about the consequences of second and third-trimester
exposure to ACE inhibitors and the potential first trimester risk.
Alternative treatment should be considered if a pregnancy is planned.
Patients should be asked to report pregnancies to their physicians
as soon as possible.
Angioedema: Angioedema,
including laryngeal edema, can occur with treatment with ACE inhibitors,
especially following the first dose. Patients should be so advised
and told to report immediately any signs or symptoms suggesting angioedema
(swelling of face, eyes, lips, or tongue, or difficulty in breathing)
and to take no more drug until they have consulted with the prescribing
physician.
Symptomatic Hypotension: Patients
should be cautioned that lightheadedness can occur, especially during
the first days of therapy, and it should be reported. Patients should
be told that if syncope occurs, ALTACE should be discontinued until
the physician has been consulted.
All patients
should be cautioned that inadequate fluid intake or excessive perspiration,
diarrhea, or vomiting can lead to an excessive fall in blood pressure,
with the same consequences of lightheadedness and possible syncope.
Hyperkalemia: Patients should be told not to use salt
substitutes containing potassium without consulting their physician.
Neutropenia: Patients should be told to promptly report
any indication of infection (e.g., sore throat, fever), which could
be a sign of neutropenia.
Drug Interactions
With nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory agents: Rarely,
concomitant treatment with ACE inhibitors and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory
agents have been associated with worsening of renal failure and an
increase in serum potassium.
With diuretics: Patients on diuretics, especially those in whom diuretic
therapy was recently instituted, may occasionally experience an excessive
reduction of blood pressure after initiation of therapy with ALTACE.
The possibility of hypotensive effects with ALTACE can be minimized
by either discontinuing the diuretic or increasing the salt intake
prior to initiation of treatment with ALTACE. If this is not possible,
the starting dose should be reduced. (See DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION.)
With potassium supplements and potassium-sparing
diuretics: ALTACE can attenuate potassium loss
caused by thiazide diuretics. Potassium-sparing diuretics (spironolactone,
amiloride, triamterene, and others) or potassium supplements can increase
the risk of hyperkalemia. Therefore, if concomitant use of such agents
is indicated, they should be given with caution, and the patient’s
serum potassium should be monitored frequently.
With lithium: Increased serum lithium levels and symptoms of lithium
toxicity have been reported in patients receiving ACE inhibitors during
therapy with lithium. These drugs should be coadministered with caution,
and frequent monitoring of serum lithium levels is recommended. If
a diuretic is also used, the risk of lithium toxicity may be increased.
Other: Neither ALTACE nor its metabolites have
been found to interact with food, digoxin, antacid, furosemide, cimetidine,
indomethacin, and simvastatin. The combination of ALTACE and propranolol
showed no adverse effects on dynamic parameters (blood pressure and
heart rate). The co-administration of ALTACE and warfarin did not
adversely affect the anticoagulant effects of the latter drug. Additionally,
co-administration of ALTACE with phenprocoumon did not affect minimum
phenprocoumon levels or interfere with the subjects’ state
of anti-coagulation.
Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment of Fertility
No evidence of a tumorigenic effect was found when
ramipril was given by gavage to rats for up to 24 months at doses
of up to 500 mg/kg/day or to mice for up to 18 months at doses of
up to 1000 mg/kg/day. (For either species, these doses are about 200
times the maximum recommended human dose when compared on the basis
of body surface area.) No mutagenic activity was detected in the Ames
test in bacteria, the micronucleus test in mice, unscheduled DNA synthesis
in a human cell line, or a forward gene-mutation assay in a Chinese
hamster ovary cell line. Several metabolites and degradation products
of ramipril were also negative in the Ames test. A study in rats with
dosages as great as 500 mg/kg/day did not produce adverse effects
on fertility.
Ingestion single 10 mg oral dose of ALTACE resulted
in undetectable amounts of ramipril and its metabolites in breast
milk. However, because multiple doses may produce low milk concentrations
that are not predictable from single doses, women receiving ALTACE
should not breast feed.
Geriatric Use
Of the total number of patients who received ramipril
in US clinical studies of ALTACE 11.0% were 65 and over while 0.2%
were 75 and over. No overall differences in effectiveness or safety
were observed between these patients and younger patients, and other,
reported clinical experience has not identified differences in responses
between the elderly and younger patients, but greater sensitivity
of some older individuals cannot be ruled out.
One pharmacokinetic study conducted in hospitalized elderly patients
indicated that peak ramiprilat levels and area under the plasma concentration
time curve (AUC) for ramiprilat are higher in older patients.
Pediatric Use
Safety and effectiveness in pediatric patients have
not been established. Irreversible kidney damage has been observed
in very young rats given a single dose of ramipril.
ADVERSE REACTIONS
Hypertension
ALTACE has been evaluated for safety in over 4,000
patients with hypertension; of these, 1,230 patients were studied
in US controlled trials, and 1,107 were studied in foreign controlled
trials. Almost 700 of these patients were treated for at least one
year. The overall incidence of reported adverse events was similar
in ALTACE and placebo patients. The most frequent clinical side effects
(possibly or probably related to study drug) reported by patients
receiving ALTACE in US placebo-controlled trials were: headache (5.4%),“dizziness” (2.2%) and fatigue or asthenia (2.0%),
but
only the last was more common in ALTACE patients than in patients
given placebo. Generally, the side effects were mild and transient,
and there was no relation to total dosage within the range of 1.25
to 20 mg. Discontinuation of therapy because of a side effect was
required in approximately 3% of US patients treated with ALTACE. The
most common reasons for discontinuation were: cough (1.0%), “dizziness”
(0.5%), and impotence (0.4%).
Of observed side
effects considered possibly or probably related to study drug that
occurred in US placebo-controlled trials in more than 1% of patients
treated with ALTACE, only asthenia (fatigue) was more common on ALTACE
than placebo (2% vs 1%).

In placebo-controlled trials, there was also an
excess of upper respiratory infection and flu syndrome in the ramipril
group, not attributed at that time to ramipril. As these studies were
carried out before the relationship of cough to ACE inhibitors was
recognized, some of these events may represent ramipril-induced cough.
In a later 1-year study, increased cough was seen in almost 12% of
ramipril patients, with about 4% of these patients requiring discontinuation
of treatment.

Other adverse experiences reported in controlled
clinical trials (in less than 1% of ramipril patients), or rarer events
seen in postmarketing experience, include the following (in some,
a causal relationship to drug use is uncertain):
Body As a Whole: Anaphylactoid
reactions. (See WARNINGS.)
Cardiovascular: Symptomatic hypotension
(reported in 0.5% of patients in US trials) (See WARNINGS and PRECAUTIONS), syncope and palpitations.
Hematologic: Pancytopenia, hemolytic anemia
and thrombocytopenia.
Renal: Some hypertensive patients with no apparent pre-existing
renal disease have developed minor, usually transient, increases in
blood urea nitrogen and serum creatinine when taking ALTACE, particularly
when ALTACE was given concomitantly with a diuretic. (See WARNINGS.) Acute renal failure.
Angioneurotic Edema: Angioneurotic edema has been reported
in 0.3% of patients in US clinical trials. (See WARNINGS.)
Dermatologic: Apparent hypersensitivity
reactions (manifested by urticaria, pruritus, or rash, with or without
fever), photosensitivity, purpura, onycholysis, pemphigus, pemphigoid,
erythema multiforme, toxic epidermal necrolysis, and Stevens- Johnson
syndrome.
Miscellaneous: As
with other ACE inhibitors, a symptom complex has been reported which
may include a positive ANA, an elevated erythrocyte sedimentation
rate, arthralgia/arthritis, myalgia, fever, vasculitis, eosinophilia,
photosensitivity, rash and other dermatologic manifestations. Additionally,
as with other ACE inhibitors, eosinophilic pneumonitis has been reported.
Post-Marketing Experience: In addition to adverse events
reported from clinical trials, there have been rare reports of hypoglycemia
reported during ALTACE therapy when given to patients concomitantly
taking oral hypoglycemic agents or insulin. The causal relationship
is unknown.
Clinical Laboratory Test Findings
Creatinine and Blood Urea Nitrogen: Increases in
creatinine levels occurred in 1.2% of patients receiving ALTACE alone,
and in 1.5% of patients receiving ALTACE and a diuretic. Increases
in blood urea nitrogen levels occurred in 0.5% of patients receiving
ALTACE alone and in 3% of patients receiving ALTACE with a diuretic.
None of these increases required discontinuation of treatment. Increases
in these laboratory values are more likely to occur in patients with
renal insufficiency or those pretreated with a diuretic and, based
on experience with other ACE inhibitors, would be expected to be especially
likely in patients with renal artery stenosis. (See WARNINGS and PRECAUTIONS.) Since ramipril decreases aldosterone secretion, elevation
of serum potassium can occur. Potassium supplements and potassium-sparing
diuretics should be given with caution, and the patient’s serum
potassium should be monitored frequently. (See WARNINGS and PRECAUTIONS.)
Hemoglobin
and Hematocrit: Decreases in hemoglobin or hematocrit (a
low value and a decrease of 5 g/dL or 5% respectively) were rare,
occurring in 0.4% of patients receiving ALTACE alone and in 1.5% of
patients receiving ALTACE plus a diuretic. No US patients discontinued
treatment because of decreases in hemoglobin or hematocrit.
Other (causal relationships
unknown): Clinically important changes in standard laboratory
tests were rarely associated with ALTACE administration. Elevations
of liver enzymes, serum bilirubin uric acid, and blood glucose have
been reported, as have cases of hyponatremia and scattered incidents
of leukopenia, eosinophilia, and proteinuria. In US trials, less than
0.2% of patients discontinued treatment for laboratory abnormalities;
all of these were cases of proteinuria or abnormal liver-function
tests.
OVERDOSAGE
Single oral doses in rats and mice of 10-11 g/kg
resulted in significant lethality. In dogs, oral doses as high as
1 g/kg induced only mild gastrointestinal distress. Limited data on
human overdosage are available. The most likely clinical manifestations
would be symptoms attributable to hypotension.
Laboratory determinations of serum levels of ramipril and its metabolites
are not widely available, and such determinations have, in any event,
no established role in the management of ramipril overdose.
No data are available to suggest physiological maneuvers
(e.g., maneuvers to change the pH of the urine) that might accelerate
elimination of ramipril and its metabolites. Similarly, it is not
known which, if any, of these substances can be usefully removed from
the body by hemodialysis.
Angiotensin II could
presumably serve as a specific antagonist-antidote in the setting
of ramipril overdose, but angiotensin II is essentially unavailable
outside of scattered research facilities. Because the hypotensive
effect of ramipril is achieved through vasodilation and effective
hypovolemia, it is reasonable to treat ramipril overdose by infusion
of normal saline solution.
DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION
Blood pressure decreases associated with any dose
of ALTACE depend, in part, on the presence or absence of volume depletion
(e.g., past and current diuretic use) or the presence or absence of
renal artery stenosis. If such circumstances are suspected to be present,
the initial starting dose should be 1.25 mg once daily.
Reduction in Risk of Myocardial Infarction, Stroke, and Death
from Cardiovascular Causes
ALTACE should be given at an initial dose of 2.5
mg, once a day for 1 week, 5 mg, once a day for the next 3 weeks,
and then increased as tolerated, to a maintenance dose of 10 mg, once
a day. If the patient is hypertensive or recently post myocardial
infarction, it can also be given as a divided dose.
Hypertension
The recommended initial dose for patients to be treated
for hypertension, not receiving a diuretic is 2.5 mg once a day. Dosage
should be adjusted according to the blood pressure response. The usual
maintenance dosage range is 2.5 to 20 mg per day administered as a
single dose or in two equally divided doses. In some patients treated
once daily, the antihypertensive effect may diminish toward the end
of the dosing interval. In such patients, an increase in dosage or
twice daily administration should be considered. If blood pressure
is not controlled with ALTACE alone, a diuretic can be added.
Heart Failure Post Myocardial Infarction
For the treatment of post-infarction patients who
have shown signs of congestive failure, the recommended starting dose
of ALTACE is 2.5 mg twice daily (5 mg per day). A patient who becomes
hypotensive at this dose may be switched to 1.25 mg twice daily, and
after one week at the starting dose, patients should then be titrated
(if tolerated) toward a target dose of 5 mg twice daily, with dosage
increases being about 3 weeks apart.
After the
initial dose of ALTACE, the patient should be observed under medical
supervision for at least two hours and until blood pressure has stabilized
for at least an additional hour. (See WARNINGS and PRECAUTIONS, Drug Interactions.) If possible, the dose of any concomitant diuretic should be reduced
which may diminish the likelihood of hypotension. The appearance of
hypotension after the initial dose of ALTACE does not preclude subsequent
careful dose titration with the drug, following effective management
of the hypotension.
The ALTACE tablet is usually
swallowed whole.
Concomitant administration
of ALTACE with potassium supplements, potassium salt substitutes,
or potassium-sparing diuretics can lead to increases of serum potassium.
(See PRECAUTIONS.)
In patients who are currently
being treated with a diuretic, symptomatic hypotension occasionally
can occur following the initial dose of ALTACE. To reduce the likelihood
of hypotension, the diuretic should, if possible, be discontinued
two to three days prior to beginning therapy with ALTACE. (See WARNINGS.) Then, if blood pressure is not controlled with ALTACE alone, diuretic
therapy should be resumed.
If the diuretic cannot
be discontinued, an initial dose of 1.25 mg ALTACE should be used
to avoid excess hypotension.
Dosage Adjustment in Renal Impairment
In patients with creatinine clearance <40 mL/min/1.73
m2 (serum creatinine approximately >2.5 mg/dL) doses only
25% of those normally used should be expected to induce full therapeutic
levels of ramiprilat. (See CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY.)
Hypertension: For patients with hypertension and renal impairment, the recommended
initial dose is 1.25 mg ALTACE once daily. Dosage may be titrated
upward until blood pressure is controlled or to a maximum total daily
dose of 5 mg.
Heart Failure Post Myocardial Infarction
For patients with heart failure and renal impairment,
the recommended initial dose is 1.25 mg ALTACE once daily. The dose
may be increased to 1.25 mg b.i.d. and up to a maximum dose of 2.5
mg b.i.d. depending upon clinical response and tolerability.
