Altace (ramipril)

Indications

• Altace is used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension).
• It helps to reduce the risk of heart attack, stroke, and death in patients with cardiovascular disease.
• Altace is also prescribed for patients with congestive heart failure or those who have recently had a heart attack.

Dosage and Administration

• Take Altace exactly as prescribed by your doctor, usually once or twice daily.
