When using Ramcor-2.5 Capsule, follow these guidelines:

• For specific advice related to your condition, always consult your doctor.

Ramcor-2.5 Capsule is taken orally.

Ramcor-2.5 Capsule contains ramipril (2.5 mg), which acts on the body in the following ways:

• ACE Inhibition: Ramipril works by inhibiting an enzyme in your body called angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE). This enzyme plays a crucial role in converting angiotensin I into angiotensin II, which narrows your blood vessels and increases your blood pressure.

• Blood Pressure Reduction: By inhibiting ACE, ramipril effectively lowers levels of angiotensin II in the body. This leads to widening of blood vessels (vasodilation) and a subsequent decrease in blood pressure.

• Bradykinin Degradation Inhibition: Ramipril also plays a role in preventing the breakdown of bradykinin, a molecule that widens blood vessels, further helping to lower blood pressure.

• Aldosterone Secretion Reduction: Lower levels of angiotensin II, thanks to ramipril, lead to decreased secretion of aldosterone by the adrenal gland. This results in increased excretion of sodium and water from your body, which also aids in lowering blood pressure.

• Keep Ramcor-2.5 Capsule in a tightly closed container.

• Store at room temperature.

• Protect the medicine from moisture and direct sunlight.

• Always keep this medicine out of reach of children.

• Use it before the expiry date mentioned on the product packaging.

• If you're taking Ramcor-2.5 Capsule for managing high blood pressure, try to limit your salt intake. Too much salt can raise your blood pressure, making the medicine less effective.

• Regular physical activity is beneficial for heart health. However, avoid strenuous exercise as it may put your heart under strain, particularly if you are taking this medicine post a heart attack or for heart failure management. Always consult your doctor about the type and amount of exercise suitable for you.
