Hopecard-H 2.5mg/12.5mg Capsule (Ramipril 2.5mg / Hydrochlorothiazide 12.5mg)

Hopecard H 2.5/12.5mg Tablet 10’s belongs to a class of medication called ‘anti-hypertensive agents’ prescribed alone or in combination with other drugs to lower the raised blood pressure. Hypertension (High blood pressure) is a condition in which the force exerted by the blood against the artery walls becomes so high that it causes health problems, such as heart disease.

Hopecard H 2.5/12.5mg Tablet 10’s contains two medicines, namely: Ramipril (blood pressure-lowering agent) and Hydrochlorothiazide (diuretics or water pills). Ramipril is an angiotensin-converting enzyme or ACE inhibitors that lower increased blood pressure by blocking a naturally occurring substance known as angiotensin II (that tightens your blood vessels). It allows these constricted blood vessels to relax and therefore helps lower high blood pressure. On the other hand, Hydrochlorothiazide (diuretic) works by increasing the amount of urine passed out from the kidneys. It effectively reduces excess fluid overload in the body and treats oedema (swelling) associated with heart, liver, kidney, or lung disease. This reduces the heart’s workload and makes the heart more efficient at pumping blood throughout the body. Thus, collectively, both help lower high blood pressure, reducing heart attack, or stroke chances.

You can take Hopecard H 2.5/12.5mg Tablet 10’s with a meal or after/before a meal. Your doctor will advise you on the exact dosage and how often you have to take Hopecard H 2.5/12.5mg Tablet 10’s based on your medical condition. In some cases, you may experience headaches, feeling tired, slow heart rate, and nausea. Most of these side effects of Hopecard H 2.5/12.5mg Tablet 10’s do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects are persistent, reach out to your doctor. Hopecard H 2.5/12.5mg Tablet 10’s may lower your blood pressure, especially if taken with alcohol.
