An ace inhibitor (angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor) that helps relax blood vessels.
An arb (angiotensin ii receptor blocker) that also helps relax blood vessels and lower blood pressure.
Treatment of hypertension (high blood pressure)
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. Losartan blocks the action of angiotensin II by preventing it from binding to its receptors. This combined action leads to vasodilation (widening of blood vessels), reducing blood pressure and improving cardiovascular outcomes.

Dosage should be determined by a physician based on individual needs and response.
Typically, the initial dose is low and gradually increased under medical supervision.
Take with or without food, as directed by your doctor.
