Frequently asked questions

I have been diagnosed with heart failure and the doctor has prescribed me Ramizen 5mg Tablet. Why?

Ramizen 5mg Tablet belongs to the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor group of drugs. It relaxes and widens the blood vessels, making it easier for the blood to pass through the vessels. As a result of this, the heart does not have to work more to push the blood. Since the workload on the heart is reduced, it is beneficial in heart failure. Additionally, it is also used to lower blood pressure and prevent stroke.

When can I expect my blood pressure to be normal after starting Ramizen 5mg Tablet?

Ramizen 5mg Tablet takes a few hours to reduce high blood pressure but since there are no symptoms, you will not notice any difference. It takes a few weeks for the blood pressure to get fully controlled. Do not stop taking the medicine. Keep taking it even if you feel better or if your blood pressure is normalized.

Can Ramizen 5mg Tablet increase potassium levels? If yes, what should be done?

Ramizen 5mg Tablet may increase potassium levels in the blood, especially if you have uncontrolled diabetes mellitus, kidney problems, and dehydration.
