Cardace 5 Tablet contains only Ramipril, which relaxes blood vessels and reduces the workload on your heart. Cardace AM 5 Tablet combines Ramipril with Amlodipine, which relaxes blood vessels in a different way, providing stronger and more effective blood pressure control. This combination is often prescribed when a single medication is not enough to bring your blood pressure down to a healthy target level.

Reason for Switching

Follow-Up and Monitoring
- Adhere to prescribed treatment and regularly monitor blood pressure. Report any side effects to your doctor.
