Price ≠ effectiveness:

A lower-priced substitute doesn't mean it's less effective. Many generic medicines work just as well as branded ones.

Ramp H Tablet is used to treat hypertension (high blood pressure).
Ramp H Tablet contains Ramipril (blood pressure-lowering agent) and Hydrochlorothiazide (diuretic or water pill). Ramipril is an angiotensin-converting enzyme or ACE inhibitor that lowers high blood pressure by blocking a naturally occurring substance known as angiotensin II (which tightens your blood vessels). It allows these constricted blood vessels to relax and, therefore, helps lower high blood pressure. On the other hand, Hydrochlorothiazide works by increasing the amount of urine passed out from the kidneys. It effectively reduces excess fluid overload in the body and treats oedema (swelling) associated with heart, liver, kidney, or lung disease. This reduces the heart's workload and makes the heart more efficient at pumping blood throughout the body. Thus, both help lower high blood pressure and reduce the chances of heart attacks or strokes.
