What is this medicine?
Angiotensin 10mg contains Ramipril, a medication from the class of angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors. It is used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension), congestive heart failure, and to lower the risk of cardiovascular events such as heart attack and stroke in high-risk individuals. It works by relaxing blood vessels, making it easier for the heart to pump blood.
