Please be advised that the regulatory amendment to add the drug ramipril to the Schedule in the Pari-Mutuel Betting Supervision Regulations has been
finalized.
The Canadian Pari-Mutuel Agency, in consultation with the Drug Advisory Committee, has determined that this drug should be added to the Schedule of Prohibited Drugs.
Ramipril belongs in a class of drugs called angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors. ACE inhibitors are used for treating high blood pressure, heart failure and for preventing kidney failure due to high blood pressure and diabetes.
