thankyou for your advice don't think its the ramipril as I had it before that was prescribed. will ask pharmist what he can recommend
Best thing you can do to help your kidney function is to get your blood sugars down to normal (ie. 80-120 range, or as close to this as you can safely manage).
I don't know of any OTC meds to helps. Maybe a good moisturizer will help a little. You can also ask the pharmacist to recommend.
You can also ask the pharmacist about alternative meds to ramopril if this is what you are reacting to.
