Angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor; used once daily to treat hypertension.<\/p>\n

\n

A drug used to treat high blood pressure and congestive heart failure. Ramipril (Altace) is an angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor, one of a class of drugs that lowers blood pressure by blocking formation of a component that constricts blood vessels. Ramipril works by relaxing blood vessels, thereby lowering blood pressure and increasing the supply of blood and oxygen to the heart. Ramipril is also used in some people after a heart attack to help slow the weakening of the heart muscle.<\/p>\n

\n

Ramipril, an ACE inhibitor medication, is prescribed to address hypertension (high blood pressure) and heart failure by enhancing pumping efficiency. Additionally, it’s employed to deter or delay kidney impairment in individuals with diabetes mellitus. Possible side effects encompass a continuous dry cough, alterations in taste perception, hypotension (low blood pressure), and other effects shared by all ACE inhibitors.<\/p>\n
