Cardace 2.5mg Tablet

Product Highlights

• Helps manage high blood pressure effectively

• Supports heart and kidney function

• Reduces risk of stroke, heart attack, and heart failure

• Convenient once-daily dosage

Product Introduction

Cardace 2.5mg Tablet contains Ramipril, an ACE (angiotensin-converting enzyme) inhibitor that supports cardiovascular health by helping blood vessels relax and open. This allows blood to flow more smoothly and lowers high blood pressure. It is commonly prescribed for hypertension, heart failure, and to slow kidney damage, especially in patients with diabetes.

This medicine may be used long-term under medical supervision. Your doctor may ask you to make lifestyle changes such as adopting a low-sodium diet, exercising, and avoiding alcohol and smoking to enhance the treatment outcome.

Key Benefits

🌟 Controls Blood Pressure: Helps lower and maintain healthy blood pressure levels.
🌟 Cardiovascular Protection: Reduces strain on the heart and improves overall heart health.
🌟 Kidney Support: Slows the progression of kidney disease in at-risk patients.
🌟 Prevention: Reduces risk of major cardiac events like heart attack or stroke.

How It Works

Cardace 2.5mg Tablet works by inhibiting the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE). This prevents the formation of angiotensin II, a substance that causes blood vessels to tighten. By blocking its production, Cardace allows blood vessels to relax and widen, improving blood flow and reducing the heart’s workload. It also helps regulate fluid balance in the body, further aiding in blood pressure control.
