Ramipril is a medication commonly used to treat high blood pressure and heart failure. It belongs to a class of drugs known as ACE inhibitors, which work by relaxing blood vessels, making it easier for the heart to pump blood. This helps reduce the risk of heart attacks and strokes. Patients taking ramipril may experience side effects such as cough, dizziness, or fatigue. It is important to follow a healthcare provider's instructions regarding dosage and to discuss any other medications being taken, as ramipril can interact with certain drugs. Regular monitoring of blood pressure is also recommended.
