How Ramirace-5 Works?

It works by inhibiting angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) and thus reducing the production of angiotensin II.  Reduced level of angiotensin II causes smooth muscle relaxation in the arterioles and it reduces the blood pressure. The breakdown of bradykinins is also decreased due to the inhibition of ACE and this effect is responsible for the dry cough (one of the side effect). Ramipril is a precursor drug and it is converted into Ramiprilat in our body to produce the action.
