Product Description
CARDACE H 10mg is a fixed dose combination medication that contains Ramipril and Hydrochlorothiazide. Ramipril is an ACE (Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme) inhibitor that helps relax blood vessels, reducing blood pressure and easing the workload on the heart. Hydrochlorothiazide is a diuretic that promotes urine production, helping to remove excess salt and water from the body, thus lowering blood pressure. Together, these two medications work to control high blood pressure and manage conditions such as hypertension. CARDACE H 10mg is prescribed under medical supervision and as part of a comprehensive treatment plan.
