Uses of Altace

Altace is also known by the generic name Ramipril

USES:
Ramipril is used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension). Lowering high blood pressure helps prevent strokes, heart attacks, and kidney problems.

Ramipril is an ACE inhibitor and works by relaxing blood vessels so that blood can flow more easily.
