Ramipril is an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor indicated for treating hypertension to lower blood pressure. ACE inhibitors inhibit the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) actions, thereby reducing the production of angiotensin II and decreasing the breakdown of bradykinin. The decrease in angiotensin II results in relaxation of arteriole smooth muscle leading to a reduction in total peripheral resistance, reducing blood pressure as the blood is pumped through widened vessels.

Ramipril works by lowering blood pressure and reducing the risk of fatal and nonfatal cardiovascular events, primarily strokes and myocardial infarctions. In addition, Ramipril, in combination with thiazide diuretics, is used to treat hypertension.

Dr. Reddy's is among the earliest generic API manufacturers globally to file the USDMF for Ramipril API. On October 4, 2000, the FDA approved the original dosage form, i.e., Altace® capsules, to reduce the risk of myocardial infarction, stroke, and cardiovascular diseases.
