What does it do?

Ramipril belongs to the class of angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors. It is mainly used in medications to lower blood pressure and reduce cardiac workload. It helps in controlling blood pressure by dilating blood vessels.

Ramipril prevents the formation of angiotensin II, which constricts blood vessels, thereby widening them. This leads to lowered blood pressure and reduced strain on the heart. It also helps in protecting kidney function.

Good to know

Ramipril is similar to other ACE inhibitors, but it is characterized by being converted into an active metabolite in the body, leading to prolonged effects. This allows for sufficient blood pressure control with once-daily dosing.
