Ramipril

Ramipril is a medication commonly used to treat high blood pressure and protect the heart and kidneys in certain conditions. It belongs to a class called ACE inhibitors, which help relax blood vessels by blocking a hormone that causes narrowing. This lowers blood pressure and makes it easier for the heart to pump, reducing strain and preventing complications like strokes, heart attacks, or kidney problems. Usually taken once daily, Ramipril is effective but should be used under a doctor's supervision to monitor for potential side effects, such as cough or increased potassium levels.
