Cardace 2.5mg Tablets

Introduction to Cardace 2.5mg Tablets

Cardace 2.5mg Tablets are a prescription medication used primarily for the management of hypertension (high blood pressure) and certain types of heart failure. The active ingredient in Cardace is Ramipril, an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor. By inhibiting the enzyme that produces angiotensin II, a substance that causes blood vessels to constrict, Ramipril helps to relax and widen blood vessels. This action reduces blood pressure, improves blood flow, and decreases the workload on the heart, making it easier for the heart to pump blood.
