1. WHAT TRITACE IS AND WHAT
IT IS USED FOR
TRITACE contains a medicine called ramipril. This
belongs to a group of medicines called ACE inhibitors
(Angiotensin Converting Enzyme Inhibitors).
TRITACE works by:
• Decreasing your body’s production of substances
that could raise your blood pressure
• Making your blood vessels relax and widen
• Making it easier for your heart to pump blood
around your body.
TRITACE can be used:
• To treat high blood pressure (hypertension)
• To reduce the risk of you having a heart attack or
stroke
• To reduce the risk or delay the worsening of kidney
problems (whether or not you have diabetes)
• To treat your heart when it cannot pump enough
blood to the rest of your body (heart failure)
• As treatment following heart attack (myocardial
infarction) complicated with heart failure.
2. WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW BEFORE YOU TAKE

DO NOT TAKE TRITACE:

inhibitor medicine or any of the ingredients of
