Ramizen 10mg

What is this medicine?

Ramizen 10 MG contains Ramipril, a medication belonging to a class called ACE inhibitors (Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme inhibitors). It is used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension), heart failure, and to reduce the risk of heart attacks, strokes, or death in patients at high cardiovascular risk. Ramipril works by relaxing blood vessels, making it easier for the heart to pump blood.
