CompositionZiram 5 Tablet is a medicine used to manage high blood pressure (hypertension) and to protect the heart in people at high risk, including after a heart attack. Keeping blood pressure under control helps reduce the long-term risk of stroke, heart attack, and kidney complications.
It contains ramipril, an ACE inhibitor. Take it as prescribed, swallowing the tablet whole with water, with or without food. Continue taking it regularly even if you feel fine, as high blood pressure rarely presents noticeable symptoms, and stopping suddenly may cause blood pressure to rise again.
Following a low-salt diet is an important lifestyle measure for managing blood pressure. Staying physically active, maintaining a healthy weight, and limiting alcohol intake also help support consistent blood pressure control alongside this medicine.
Before taking this medicine, tell your doctor if you have any kidney problems, liver disease, or severe dehydration. It is not suitable during pregnancy. Report a dry persistent cough, marked dizziness, or swelling of the face, lips, or tongue to your doctor promptly.
