Can I continue taking Zorem daily for controlling high blood pressure?

Q: I am a 60 years old man taking Zorem 5 daily at night after dinner. Everything is normal and I feel comfortable. Can I continue taking it daily? Are there any side effects or any problem if I continue to take it?

A:Zorem is the brand name. It contains a medicine called ramipril used in the treatment of high blood pressure. The issue is not whether you feel "comfortable" but whether your blood pressure is under control. If the drug is effective then you can certainly continue to take it.
