Ramcor-H 2.5 Tablet

Ramcor-H 2.5 Tablet is a prescription medicine used to manage high blood pressure (hypertension). It contains two active ingredients: Ramipril, an ACE inhibitor, and Hydrochlorothiazide, a thiazide diuretic. Together, they help to lower blood pressure by relaxing blood vessels and eliminating excess fluid and salt from the body. Controlling blood pressure with Ramcor-H 2.5 helps reduce the risk of heart attacks, strokes, and kidney damage.
