Composition:
HYDROCHLOROTHIAZIDE-12.5MG + RAMIPRIL-5MG
Uses:
Hypertension (high blood pressure)
Medicinal Benefits:
Ramistar H 5 Tablet contains Ramipril and hydrochlorothiazide. Ramipril is an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor that lowers increased blood pressure by blocking a naturally occurring substance known as angiotensin II (that tightens your blood vessels). It allows these constricted blood vessels to relax and therefore helps lower high blood pressure. On the other hand, Hydrochlorothiazide (diuretic) works by increasing the amount of urine passed out from the kidneys. It effectively reduces excess fluid levels in the body and treats oedema (swelling) associated with heart, liver, kidney, or lung disease. This reduces the heart's workload and makes the heart more efficient at pumping blood throughout the body. Thus, both help lower high blood pressure, reducing the chances of heart attack or stroke. However, Ramistar H 5 Tablet does not cure high blood pressure (hypertension) but does help control it. In addition to this, Ramistar H 5 Tablet also reduces the physical effects of anxiety.
Usually, Ramistar H 5 Tablet is prescribed for a long-term treatment ranging from weeks to months or for life long also for treating lowering raised blood pressure, swelling due to fluid overload (oedema) and heart-related conditions. However, taking it on your own for years without a doctor's consent can be fatal. Hence, only take it as long as your doctor prescribes it.
