Important Safety & Substitution Advice

• Do not change from Ziram 5 to another brand or strength on your own. Even if the molecule is the same, your doctor should confirm the exact dose and brand.
• Your prescription and your doctor’s instructions (e.g., “Ramipril 5 mg OD”) determine whether the chemist can legally and safely give a different brand.
• If Ziram 5 is unavailable or too costly, ask your doctor or pharmacist specifically: “Can I take any Ramipril 5 mg brand instead?”
• If you have kidney disease, pregnancy, or other heart conditions, never adjust or stop Ramipril without medical supervision.
