Cardace 10 mg Tablet

Cardace 10 mg Tablet contains Ramipril (10mg). Prescription required.

Treatment of hypertension (high blood pressure); reduction of risk of heart attack, stroke and cardiovascular death in high-risk patients; management of heart failure; post–myocardial infarction (heart attack) with signs of heart failure; kidney protection in certain patients with diabetes/proteinuria (as prescribed).

Ramipril is an ACE inhibitor that blocks conversion of angiotensin I to angiotensin II, leading to relaxation of blood vessels and reduced blood pressure. It also lowers aldosterone, reducing salt and water retention and decreasing workload on the heart.
