Lipid Clinic Visit

Just come back from seeing my consultant. Cholesterol is fine at 4.6 and all the other cholesterol figures are fine. the only alteration to my medication is that he's upping my Ramipril 2.5mg to 5mg. Didn't ask him if it was ok to take 2 5mg ones till I get a new prescription, but I guess that's ok, isn't it?

You mean 2x2.5mg? Sounds OK, but why not give the clinic a call and double-check?

I spoke to the pharmacist and she said it was ok to take 2 x 2.5mg tablets.
