Aldo block : Eplerenone is an aldosterone blocking agent and will prevent actions of Aldo. Ramipril doesn't directly effect aldosterone but is an agent on the renin angiotensin pathway. Their interaction may be an enhanced high potassium the most common in patients with kidney disease. Hope this helps
