Ramipres 2.5 mg Tablet

Ramipres 2.5 mg Tablet contains 2.5 mg of ramipril in each tablet. Ramipril is an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor used to treat high blood pressure, help lower cardiovascular risk in some people, and support treatment of heart failure or after a heart attack when prescribed. Ramipres 2.5 mg Tablet is a prescription medicine from Cipla, India, in a pack of 10 tablets.

How it works: Ramipril in Ramipres 2.5 mg Tablet blocks an enzyme that makes angiotensin II, a substance that tightens blood vessels. By relaxing and widening blood vessels, the tablet helps blood flow more easily and reduces the heart’s workload.

Ramipres 2.5 mg Tablet is a lower-dose tablet, often chosen when a doctor wants a gentle starting or step-up dose rather than the higher 5 mg or 10 mg strengths. Compared with Ramipres 1.25 mg Tablet, it delivers more ramipril per tablet, but it is still below the higher maintenance strengths and may be easier to adjust for people who are sensitive to blood-pressure lowering.
