However, ramipril currently remains the only ACE inhibitor for which such effects are actually evidence-based. citation A meta-analysis confirmed that ACE inhibitors are effective and certainly the first-line choice in hypertension treatment.
This finding was made after it was discovered that regular use of ramipril reduced mortality rates even in test subjects not having suffered from hypertension.
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 μg/mL–10 μg/mL.
To be sure that ramipril is not lost when such a mixture is used, the mixture should be consumed in its entirety.
