Ramil Tablet 5 mg contains Ramipril, an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor used to treat hypertension and various cardiovascular conditions. It helps relax blood vessels, reduce blood pressure, and improve heart efficiency, thereby lowering the risk of heart attack, stroke, and kidney complications in high-risk patients. This higher-strength formulation is used when stronger blood pressure control is required.

Ramil Tablet is indicated for:

• Hypertension (high blood pressure)

Mechanism of Action

Ramipril inhibits angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE), preventing the conversion of angiotensin I to angiotensin II, a potent vasoconstrictor. This leads to vasodilation, reduced peripheral resistance, and lowered blood pressure. It also decreases aldosterone secretion, promoting sodium and water excretion, which reduces fluid overload and cardiac workload while offering kidney protection.
