Description
Description: Tritace (ramipril) is an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension), heart failure, and to reduce the risk of cardiovascular events such as heart attacks and strokes. It works by relaxing blood vessels, making it easier for the heart to pump blood around the body.
Dosage Instructions: The typical starting dose for Tritace is 2.5 mg once daily, which may be increased to 5 mg once daily after the first week, depending on the patient’s response. The maximum recommended dose is 10 mg once daily. It is usually taken orally, with or without food. It’s important to follow your doctor’s instructions and not to adjust the dosage without consulting them.
Side Effects: Common side effects of Tritace include dizziness, headache, fatigue, and a dry cough. Less common side effects can include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and rash. Serious but rare side effects include angioedema (swelling of deeper layers of the skin), hyperkalemia (high potassium levels), and kidney dysfunction. If you experience any severe or persistent side effects, contact your healthcare provider immediately.
