Ramipril is a prodrug that is converted in the body to ramiprilat, its active form. Ramiprilat blocks the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE), preventing the formation of angiotensin II, a powerful substance that narrows blood vessels.
As a result:
- Blood vessels relax and widen
- Blood pressure decreases
- The heart pumps blood more efficiently
- Aldosterone secretion is reduced, decreasing sodium and water retention
- Stress on the heart and blood vessels is lowered
These effects make ramipril beneficial in hypertension, heart failure, and cardiovascular risk reduction.
Acecard 2.5 contains ramipril, an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor used to treat and prevent several cardiovascular conditions, including:
- Hypertension (high blood pressure)
- Congestive heart failure (CHF)
- Recovery and secondary prevention after myocardial infarction (heart attack)
- Prevention of heart attack, stroke, and other cardiovascular events in high-risk patients
- Diabetic nephropathy and kidney protection in selected patients
By lowering blood pressure and reducing strain on the heart, Acecard 2.5 helps decrease the risk of serious cardiovascular complications.
