Metoprolol Succinate + Ramipril is an antihypertensive combination.
Metoprolol Succinate is a beta-blocker. It works by reducing the heart's workload. It does this by blocking certain natural chemicals in your body, like adrenaline, from acting on the heart and blood vessels.
Ramipril is an ACE inhibitor. It inhibits an enzyme called Angiotensin Converting Enzyme (ACE) that produces a substance which narrows blood vessels and releases hormones that can raise your blood pressure. Together, these medicines effectively manage high blood pressure and reduce the risk of heart attack and stroke in at-risk patients.
