Used primarily in the treatment of hypertension (high blood pressure), Ramipril helps reduce the risk of heart attack, stroke, and kidney problems in patients with cardiovascular disease. It is also prescribed after a heart attack to improve survival and reduce the risk of future cardiac events. As an ACE inhibitor, it works by relaxing blood vessels, allowing blood to flow more easily. Ramipril is often part of long-term management for heart failure and diabetic nephropathy, offering protective effects on the kidneys in diabetic patients. Its benefits extend to slowing the progression of vascular damage, making it valuable in high-risk patient groups.
