Does Ramipril Be For Hypertension And Lower Cholesterol?

Ramipril is a drug used alone or together with other drugs in the treatment of hypertension and in the prevention of atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases. In the body, ramipril is activated to ramiprilat, which reduces the formation of angiotensin II, thanks to which blood vessels relax and blood pressure is lowered. This medicine does not directly affect cholesterol, but studies have shown that patients with ramipril experience a statistically significant improvement in lipid metabolism - a reduction in LDL cholesterol and an increase in HDL cholesterol.
