Ramipron H 2.5mg/12.5mg Tablet

Ramipron H 2.5mg/12.5mg Tablet is a prescription medicine used for controlling high blood pressure (hypertension). It combines two effective components—Ramipril, an ACE inhibitor, and Hydrochlorothiazide, a diuretic. This combination helps relax blood vessels and eliminate excess salt and fluid from the body, thereby lowering blood pressure. Managing hypertension effectively reduces the risk of heart attack, stroke, and kidney damage. Ramipron H is often used when single-drug therapy isn't enough to control blood pressure.
