Altace (active ingredient: ramipril) is a prescription medication indicated for the following:

Hypertension: Altace is used for the treatment of hypertension (high blood pressure) to lower blood pressure and reduce the risk of cardiovascular events, such as heart attack and stroke.
Heart Failure: It is indicated for the treatment of heart failure, where it can improve survival and decrease the need for hospitalization due to heart failure-related symptoms.
Post-Myocardial Infarction: Altace is also indicated for the reduction of mortality in patients who have survived a myocardial infarction (heart attack) and who are at high risk for cardiovascular events.

Altace belongs to a class of drugs known as angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors. It works by relaxing blood vessels, which helps to lower blood pressure and improve blood flow, reducing the workload on the heart.

To use Altace (ramipril), take the medication by mouth with or without food as directed by your doctor, usually once or twice daily. If you are taking the tablet form of Ramipril, swallow it whole with a full glass of water. Your dosage will depend on your medical condition and response to treatment and should be prescribed and monitored by a healthcare professional.

The dosage may vary depending on the patient’s condition, medical history, and other factors, and may be adjusted by the prescribing doctor.

To treat high blood pressure: the usual starting dose for people not using diuretics (water pills) is 2.5 mg once daily. The dose is usually increased according to need every 2 weeks. The usual dose range is between 2.5 mg and 10 mg daily. For people using diuretics, your doctor may start with a lower dose of 1.25 mg daily or ask you to stop using the diuretic for 2 or 3 days before starting ramipril.
For people at increased risk of heart disease events: the recommended starting dose is 2.5 mg once daily, increasing gradually to 10 mg daily if tolerated.
For treatment following a heart attack: the usual starting dose varies depending on existing medical conditions, blood pressure, and other medications. The recommended starting dose is 2.5 mg twice daily, increased every 1 to 3 days if appropriate. The dose should not exceed 5 mg twice daily. A lower dose of 1.25 mg twice daily may be needed for those who experience low blood pressure because of taking the medication.

You should not adjust your dosage or stop taking the medication without first consulting with your doctor. If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and resume your regular dosing schedule. Do not take a double dose to make up for a missed one. If you have any questions or concerns about how to use Altace, you should speak with your doctor or pharmacist.
