Product Description
RAMISTAR H 5mg is a fixed-dose combination medication that contains Ramipril and Hydrochlorothiazide. Ramipril is an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor that helps relax blood vessels, reducing blood pressure and improving blood flow.

RAMISTAR H 5mg is prescribed in cases where treatment with each medication individually is deemed appropriate.
