About Ramistar-M XL 25 Tablet

Ramistar-M XL 25 Tablet belongs to the 'anti-hypertensive drugs' class, 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 walls. This condition makes the heart work harder in pumping blood to the whole body. Hypertension can cause severe health complications, including stroke, heart failure, heart attack and kidney failure.

Ramistar-M XL 25 Tablet is composed of Metoprolol and Ramipril. Metoprolol is a beta-blocker, which helps in slowing down the heart rate, making it easier for the heart to pump blood throughout the body. Ramipril is an angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor, which relaxes and widens the blood vessels making it easier for the heart to pump blood to all body parts. Hence, it reduces the chance of having a heart attack, stroke, heart-related chest pain (angina) or other cardiovascular diseases.

You can take Ramistar-M XL 25 Tablet with food or without food. Swallow it as a whole with a glass of water. Do not chew, bite, or break it. Your doctor will advise you on how often you need to take Ramistar-M XL 25 Tablet based on your medical condition. In some cases, you may experience certain common side-effects like tiredness, dizziness, shortness of breath, bradycardia, hypotension, diarrhoea, headache, and rash. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. Talk to your doctor if you experience these side effects persistently.

Try not to stop taking this medicine on your own even if your blood pressure is normal as it may worsen your condition. Let your doctor know if you have any liver, kidney or heart problems, are pregnant or breastfeeding. Do not take Ramistar-M XL 25 Tablet if you are hypersensitive to metoprolol, ramipril, any beta-blocker, any other ACE inhibitor, or any of the excipients of Ramistar-M XL 25 Tablet . Ramistar-M XL 25 Tablet may cause dizziness, so drive with caution. Avoid alcohol consumption along with Ramistar-M XL 25 Tablet as it might lead to increased dizziness or unpleasant side effects.

Uses of Ramistar-M XL 25 Tablet

Hypertension (high blood pressure)

Directions for Use

Medicinal Benefits

Ramistar-M XL 25 Tablet is a combination of two blood pressure-lowering medications, metoprolol and ramipril. Metoprolol is a beta-blocker that works by decreasing the heart rate and increasing the heart's efficiency in pumping blood throughout the body. Ramipril is an ACE inhibitor that relaxes blood vessels and decreases stress on the heart, allowing blood to flow more easily. Thereby, Ramistar-M XL 25 Tablet helps treat hypertension and thus reduces the chance of having a heart attack, stroke, heart-related chest pain (angina) or other cardiovascular diseases.

Storage

Keep Ramistar-M XL 25 Tablet out of reach and sight of children.

Disease/Condition Glossary

Hypertension (High blood pressure): 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. Conditions like diabetes, stress, sedentary lifestyle, smoking, respiratory diseases (asthma or COPD), obesity, pregnancy, overactive thyroid (hyperthyroidism), and kidney diseases can lead to high blood pressure.
