Is it okay to drink herbal teas whilst on ramipril tablet for high blood pressure?

That's a question for the doctor or pharmacist. There are certain herbs used in teas that can react with medications and compromise their effectiveness.

Okay, but does anyone take ramipril and take herbal teas? or anything.

I wouldn't take it without my doctor's consent.

Tbh it's a question that wouldn't even cross my mind. It's as likely to interact with herbal teas as anything we eat and drink on a daily basis so I wouldn't single out herbal teas. I'd read the label, if there's nothing you're thinking of drinking that's listed I wouldn't worry.

After looking at a few drug interaction sites, I haven't found anything to suggest any dire interactions between any herbs and rampiril. However, this is something you need to ask your pharmacist for accurate information :)
