my GP has put me on Ramipril, he has told me to take 2.5mg for one week, then take 5mg for a week then 10mg from then on, I am concerned as it seems a high dose.
when is the best time to take them, is bedtime a good time, just I case I get the dizziness?

this must be for high BP? I have not heard of a GP ramping up the dose like that.
Certainly at 10mg my experience was that I was unable to plan after taking for 10 days, and I sat thinking about who was going to die next that I knew! There are many side effects, see online. I suggest buying your own BP kit - about £13.50 online and checking your progress at the 5mg level. Try one garlic tablet daily also and monitor.. good luck.
