The effectiveness of Cardace H 2.5 Tablet 15 is due to the two active ingredients it contains:

• Hydrochlorothiazide (12.5 mg): This functions as a diuretic, reducing sodium and chloride reabsorption in your kidneys' distal convoluted tubule. The resulting increase in water and electrolyte excretion—including sodium, potassium, chloride, and magnesium—reduces intravascular volume and sodium levels. These actions help manage high blood pressure.
• Ramipril (2.5 mg): As an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor, ramipril blocks the conversion of angiotensin I into angiotensin II, a substance that narrows blood vessels (vasoconstrictor), which leads to less vasopressor activity and lower aldosterone secretion. This causes blood vessels to dilate, reducing blood pressure. The increased levels of a substance called bradykinin also contribute to the antihypertensive effects of ramipril.

• Store Cardace H 2.5 Tablet 15 in a dry place, away from moisture.
• Store at room temperature.
• Keep out of direct sunlight and protect from light.
• Always keep the medicine out of children's reach.
• Use it before the expiration date on the package.

• Follow a low-sodium diet. Since Cardace H 2.5 Tablet 15 is aimed at managing hypertension, reducing your salt intake can help control blood pressure levels.
• Stay hydrated, but avoid excessive intake. This medication contains hydrochlorothiazide, a diuretic that increases urine output, so maintaining a balance in fluid intake is crucial to prevent dehydration.
