Scientific Evidence
- Pharmacological Effects: Ramipril, an ACE inhibitor, relaxes blood vessels to lower blood pressure. Hydrochlorothiazide, a diuretic, increases urine output to reduce fluid and lower blood pressure.
- Clinical Trials: Combination therapy of ramipril and hydrochlorothiazide is more effective in lowering blood pressure than either drug alone. Studies in the Journal of Hypertension showed a significant blood pressure reduction with this combination.
