Co-Tritace 5mg+25mg Tablet contains a combination of Ramipril 5mg and Hydrochlorothiazide 25mg, used for the management of high blood pressure (hypertension). Ramipril belongs to the ACE inhibitor class, while Hydrochlorothiazide is a thiazide diuretic that helps remove excess fluid from the body. Together, they help relax blood vessels and reduce fluid retention, resulting in improved blood pressure control. 

Co-Tritace is commonly prescribed when blood pressure is not adequately controlled with a single medicine. It helps lower the workload on the heart and may reduce the risk of complications associated with uncontrolled hypertension.

How It Works

Ramipril blocks the formation of angiotensin II, a substance that causes blood vessels to tighten. This helps blood vessels relax and lowers blood pressure.

Hydrochlorothiazide acts as a diuretic (water pill) by increasing urine production, helping remove excess salt and water from the body. The combined effect helps control blood pressure more effectively.
