I’m taking and ACE Inhibitor Ramipril but not because of blood pressure issues but rather for its anti inflammatory effects.

I started taking Ramipril a couple months ago—along with a stack of of other ingredients.

The goal is to rid my carotids of plaque build up. Should take another 6-12 months.

When that’s done—I’ll go off ramapril.

I could not immediately find anything talking to its anti-inflammatory benefits, but I did see that it has some cardio-protective benefits beyond just it normal function.

I also saw that it is closest to the ARB Telmisartan, for such uses.

Is your combination meds for the carotid plaque buildup working?
