❓ Patient question: "Why am I taking Ramipril? My blood pressure is normal."
🤖 AI response: "Ramipril is an ACE inhibitor. Even if your blood pressure is normal, it is often prescribed to: protect your kidneys from further damage, reduce protein in your urine (proteinuria), and slow the progression of kidney disease. Your blood pressure may be normal because of the medication. Stopping it suddenly could cause blood pressure to spike and faster decline in kidney function. Do not stop it without your doctor's approval."
