Prescription Required.Why?
An ace inhibitor (angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor) that helps relax blood vessels.
An angiotensin ii receptor blocker (arb) that also helps relax blood vessels and lower blood pressure.
Treatment of hypertension (high blood pressure)
Treatment of heart failure
Reduction of cardiovascular risk in patients with high risk of cardiovascular events (e.g., postmyocardial infarction)
Ramipril inhibits the ACE enzyme, preventing the formation of angiotensin II, a powerful vasoconstrictor. Valsartan blocks the action of angiotensin II by binding to its receptors, preventing vasoconstriction. This combined action leads to vasodilation (widening of blood vessels), reduced blood pressure, and reduced cardiac workload.
