Ramipril 2.5 mg

Generic Ramipril 2.5 mg is a prescription tablet commonly used for controlling high blood pressure and supporting long-term heart protection. Doctors often start with this strength when beginning therapy, when a gradual dose build-up is needed, or when a lower dose suits the patient’s age, kidney function, or overall tolerance. It may also be prescribed to reduce cardiovascular risk in selected patients under regular follow-up.

Ramipril belongs to the angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor group. It works by relaxing blood vessels, which improves blood flow and reduces pressure inside the arteries. This lowers workload on the heart and can support better long-term vessel health. Many patients take it once daily, and keeping the timing consistent helps maintain stable effect. Your doctor may adjust the dose based on blood pressure readings, kidney function tests, and potassium levels.

Take Ramipril 2.5 mg exactly as prescribed. Do not stop suddenly without medical advice, even if readings look controlled. Some people may feel dizziness after the first few doses, especially when standing up quickly, so rise slowly and stay hydrated as advised. A dry cough can occur and should be reported if persistent. Seek urgent medical care if you develop swelling of face, lips, or throat, breathing difficulty, fainting, or severe weakness.
