About RAMISAVE CH 2.5MG TABLET

RAMISAVE CH 2.5MG TABLET belongs to the class of 'anti-hypertensive drugs' primarily used to treat hypertension (high blood pressure). Hypertension is a medical condition, in which the blood exerts high pressure (force exerted by circulating blood) against blood vessel's walls.

Hypertension can cause severe health complications, including stroke, heart failure, heart attack and kidney failure. 

RAMISAVE CH 2.5MG TABLET consists of two medicines: Ramipril (angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor) and Chlorthalidone (water pill). Ramipril belongs to the class of 'Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme (ACE) Inhibitors' which help relaxes and widens the blood vessels making it easier for the heart to pump blood throughout the body, thereby lowering the raised blood pressure. On the other hand, Chlorthalidone belongs to diuretics (water pill) which reduces excess water and salts (electrolytes) amount in the body by increasing the urine output inhibits, thereby decreasing fluid buildup and swelling.

Disease/Condition Glossary

Hypertension: It is a chronic condition when blood pressure is too high. Blood pressure is defined as the amount of blood pumped by the heart and the amount of resistance exerted by the arteries against the blood flow. If the heart pumps more blood, then arteries become narrower, and in turn, blood pressure becomes high. If blood pressure becomes uncontrolled, it may lead to serious heart diseases, including stroke and heart attack. Additionally, high blood pressure can also cause brain damage (stroke) and kidney failure. Blood pressure is expressed as systolic and diastolic pressures. Systolic blood pressure represents the contraction and relaxation of the heart. Diastolic pressure is exerted in the blood vessels when the heart beats and is in the resting state. Ideal blood pressure should be between 90/60 mmHg and 120/80 mmHg. Hypertension is detected when systolic blood pressure is more than 140mmHg, and diastolic pressure is higher than 90mmHg. Some of the symptoms of hypertension include headache, nose bleed, vomiting, chest pain, etc.
