Description
Rami Race 5 Tablet is a prescription medicine containing Ramipril 5mg, which belongs to the class of medicines known as ACE inhibitors. It is commonly prescribed to control high blood pressure, manage heart failure, improve survival after a heart attack, and protect the kidneys in people with diabetes or other kidney conditions.
