Eddie,

It's blood pressure medication. I really don't know anything about it, but here's the link:

Hi Eddie,

Ramipril is an ACE inhibitor. I'm not familiar with its use for CH, since it supposedly keeps the vessels dilated - instead of constricted, which is what we clusterheads seem to need. On the other hand, calcium channel blockers like Verapamil have been proven to work.

Let us know if you find out anything promising about this particular drug.
