RAMIPRES 1.25mg Tablet 10’s

Ramipres 1.25mg Tablet belongs to the class of ACE inhibitors (Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme Inhibitors) used to manage hypertension (high blood pressure) and prevent cardiovascular complications. It works by relaxing blood vessels, allowing blood to flow more easily, thereby reducing blood pressure and strain on the heart.

It is also prescribed for patients at high risk of heart attacks, strokes, and kidney problems. In heart failure patients, it helps improve heart function and reduces symptoms like shortness of breath and swelling.

Key Benefits

How It Works

Ramipril (1.25 mg) blocks the action of angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE), preventing the production of angiotensin II, a substance that narrows blood vessels and increases blood pressure. By blocking this process, Ramipres helps:

• Lower blood pressure
• Enhance blood flow
• Reduce strain on the heart
