Drug Information

Tritace is an effective medication used for the treatment of  different conditions in different patients. The medication is indicated for treating the condition of high blood pressure or hypertension and worsening kidney symptoms. Ramipril is the prime ingredient of the drug, also utilized for increasing the survival rate in patients and preventing further damage following a heart failure. The medication is widely prescribed  for the treatment of cardiovascular diseases in patients who are 55 years old or above. Tritace is further meant for improving the quality of life in patients, who are suffering various health complications because of conditions, like high blood pressure, diabetes and cholesterol problems. This medication can be utilized for other problems as determined by the doctor.

Mechanism

The Angiotensin Converting Enzyme weakens the condition by increasing the blood pressure and contracting the arteries, thus, restricting the smooth flow of blood in the vessels. Tritace works by preventing the release of  Angiotensin Converting Enzyme in the body. By doing so, it dilates the blood vessels and reduces the blood pressure, enabling the blood to flow fluidly. This improves the oxygen supply to the heart and reduces the risks of heart attack. When prescribed for bettering the kidney functioning, Tritace works by enhancing the blood flow in the small blood vessels in the kidney and decelerates the pace of kidney damage.
