Rami Race 5 mg Tablet

Rami Race 5 mg Tablet is a prescription medicine that contains 5 mg of ramipril in each tablet. Ramipril belongs to a class of medicines called ACE inhibitors, which are used to treat high blood pressure, heart failure, and to lower the risk of heart attack, stroke, or worsening kidney problems in some patients. Rami Race 5 mg Tablet is taken by mouth and may be prescribed when a doctor wants a mid-strength ramipril dose for ongoing blood pressure or heart protection treatment. It is manufactured by Knoll Healthcare, India and is supplied in a strip/box of 10 tablets.

How it works: Ramipril in Rami Race 5 mg Tablet blocks an enzyme that helps make angiotensin II, a substance that tightens blood vessels. By relaxing blood vessels, this tablet helps lower blood pressure and reduces strain on the heart.

Rami Race 5 mg Tablet is a higher-strength ramipril tablet than lower-dose options, so it is usually chosen for people whose doctor has already assessed them and decided they need more than a starter dose. Compared with Rami Race 10 mg Tablet, the 5 mg tablet may allow more gradual dose adjustment and can be easier to titrate based on blood pressure, kidney function, and tolerance. Some people notice the blood-pressure-lowering effect more clearly as the dose is increased, which is why this strength is not meant for self-starting.

• High blood pressure
• Heart failure
• Reduce risk after heart attack in selected patients
• Lower risk of stroke or heart attack in some high-risk patients
• Kidney protection in certain patients with diabetes or hypertension

• Swallow Rami Race 5 mg Tablet whole with water; do not crush or chew unless your doctor says otherwise.
• Take it at the same time each day to help you remember.
• It can be taken with or without food; food does not usually stop it from working.
• Stand up slowly after taking it, especially when starting treatment or after a dose increase, because it can lower blood pressure.
• Follow the exact dose schedule from your doctor; do not change to the 10 mg strength on your own.
• If you miss a dose, take it when you remember unless it is almost time for the next dose; do not double up.

Each Rami Race 5 mg Tablet provides 5 mg of ramipril. Depending on your condition and how you respond, it may be taken once daily or sometimes in divided doses, but only your doctor should decide the schedule and adjust the dose. The maximum daily dose depends on the reason it is prescribed and your kidney function; do not exceed the amount your doctor has prescribed for this 5 mg strength.

Do not change your dose or stop the medicine without speaking to your doctor.
