Inramed 2.5mg Tablet

About

Inramed 2.5mg Tablet contains Ramipril, an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor. This medication works by blocking the enzyme responsible for converting angiotensin I to angiotensin II, a potent vasoconstrictor. By inhibiting this conversion, Ramipril leads to vasodilation, reduced blood pressure, and decreased workload on the heart. It is widely prescribed for the management of hypertension, congestive heart failure, and to reduce the risk of cardiovascular events in high-risk patients, including those with a history of myocardial infarction or stroke. Additionally, Ramipril exhibits renoprotective effects, making it beneficial in patients with diabetic nephropathy. Its therapeutic efficacy stems from its ability to modulate the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system, improving cardiovascular and renal outcomes.
