What the Health Canada label says it is for
1 INDICATIONS pms-RAMIPRIL-HCTZ (ramipril/hydrochlorothiazide) is indicated for the treatment of essential hypertension in patients for whom this combination therapy is appropriate. pms-RAMIPRIL-HCTZ is not indicated for initial therapy (see 4 DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION). Patients in whom ramipril and diuretic are initiated simultaneously can develop symptomatic hypotension. Patients should be titrated on individual drugs. If the fixed combination represents the dose and dosing frequency determined by this titration, the use of pms-RAMIPRIL-HCTZ may be more convenient in the management of patients. If during maintenance therapy dosage adjustment is necessary, it is advisable to use the individual drugs. Pediatrics Pediatrics (< 18 years of age): The safety and effectiveness of ramipril and hydrochlorothiazide in pediatric patients have not been established. Therefore, pms-RAMIPRIL-HCTZ is not indicated in this patient population. Geriatrics Geriatrics (> 65 years of age): There is limited clinical experience with ramipril and hydrochlorothiazide in the elderly (> 65 years) (see 7.1.4 Geriatrics). https://pdf.hres.ca/dpd_pm/00071439.PDF PM date: June 20, 2023 Source product: PMS-RAMIPRIL-HCTZ; DIN 02342154; fetched 2026-09-10 Product monograph posted by Health Canada; excerpt for lookup only.
