Ramipace 2.5mg Tablet contains Ramipril 2.5mg, an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension), heart failure, and to reduce the risk of heart attack, stroke, and other cardiovascular events in high-risk patients. It also helps protect kidney function, particularly in people with diabetes or certain kidney conditions.

Ramipril works by relaxing and widening blood vessels, making it easier for the heart to pump blood throughout the body. This lowers blood pressure, reduces strain on the heart, and improves overall cardiovascular health. It should be taken regularly as prescribed, even if you feel well, since high blood pressure often has no noticeable symptoms.
