Elram Forte Tab (Ramipril + Losartan) are both blood pressure-lowering medications that work in different ways to reduce blood pressure. Ramipril is an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor. It blocks the production of angiotensin II, a hormone that constricts blood vessels and raises blood pressure. Losartan is an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB). It blocks the action of angiotensin II by preventing it from binding to its receptors in blood vessels. By working together, Ramipril and Losartan can effectively lower blood pressure and improve cardiovascular health.
