Altace prescription: Ramipril is used for the treatment of heart failure (congestive heart failure or CHF) and high blood pressure (hypertension). Treatment also prevents heart attacks, strokes and deaths due to heart disease. Ramipril slows the progression of kidney failure in patients with diabetes. Ramipril belongs in a class of drugs called angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors which are used for treating high blood pressure and heart failure and for preventing kidney failure due to high blood pressure and diabetes. Other ACE inhibitors are enalapril (Vasotec), quinapril (Accupril), captopril (Capoten), fosinopril (Monopril), benazepril (Lotensin), lisinopril (Zestril, Prinivil), moexipril (Univasc) and trandolapril (Mavik). ACE is important because it produces the protein, angiotensin II. Angiotensin II contracts the muscles of most arteries in the body, including the heart, thereby narrowing the arteries and elevating the blood pressure. In the kidney, the narrowing caused by angiotensin II also increases blood pressure and decreases the flow of blood. ACE inhibitors such as ramipril lower blood pressure by reducing the production of angiotensin II, thereby relaxing the arterial muscles and enlarging the arteries. The enlargement of the arteries throughout the body reduces the blood pressure against which the heart must pump blood, and it becomes easier for the heart to pump blood.
Altace use: Ramipril is in a class of drugs called angiotensin-converting-enzyme inhibitors (ACE inhibitors). Ramipril is used to treat hypertension.

Why is this drug prescribed?
Lopace capsules contain the active ingredient Altace, which is a type of drug called an ACE inhibitor. Altace is also available without a brand name, ie as the generic drug.
ACE inhibitors work by blocking the action of a compound in the body called angiotensin converting enzyme. Normally ACE produces another compound called angiotensin II, as part of the body's natural control of blood pressure. Angiotensin II causes blood vessels to constrict and narrow, which increases the pressure within the blood vessels.
As Altace blocks the action of ACE, it reduces the production of angiotensin II. This means that the blood vessels are allowed to relax and widen. The overall effect of this is a drop in blood pressure, hence Altace can be used to lower high blood pressure.
The reduced pressure within the blood vessels means that the heart doesn't have to work as hard to pump the blood around the body. This means that ACE inhibitors such as Altace can be used to improve the symptoms of heart failure, where the heart is not pumping as efficiently as it should be. Altace has also been shown to improve survival in people who are diagnosed with heart failure after suffering a heart attack. Altace is usually used in combination with a diuretic drug to treat heart failure.
Altace has been shown to reduce the risk of heart attack, stroke and the need for surgical procedures to improve blood supply to the heart in various groups of people who are at risk of these problems.
Treatments
* Mild to moderate high blood pressure
* Heart failure
