Tritace is a medication commonly prescribed for the treatment of high blood pressure (hypertension), heart failure, and to reduce the risk of cardiovascular events in patients who are at high risk. The active ingredient in Tritace is ramipril, which belongs to a class of drugs known as angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors. By inhibiting the action of ACE, ramipril leads to the relaxation of blood vessels, which in turn lowers blood pressure and improves blood flow. This mechanism not only helps in managing blood pressure but also reduces the strain on the heart, making it beneficial for patients with heart conditions. Tritace is often part of a comprehensive treatment plan that may include diet, exercise, and other medications.
