Medicinal Benefits

  • Saface-H 5/12.5Mg Tablet contains Ramipril and Hydrochlorothiazide, which lower and maintain healthy blood pressure levels.
  • By controlling hypertension, it helps prevent serious cardiovascular events such as heart attack, stroke, and heart failure.
  • Ramipril, an ACE inhibitor, blocks the production of angiotensin II, which relaxes and widens blood vessels to improve blood flow.
  • Hydrochlorothiazide acts as a diuretic, increasing urine output to remove extra salt and water from the body, thereby reducing fluid retention (oedema).
  • By lowering both blood pressure and fluid buildup, Saface-H 5/12.5Mg Tablet helps the heart pump blood more efficiently.
  • It helps relieve swelling associated with heart, liver, kidney, or lung disorders by reducing excess fluid accumulation.
  • The combined action of both ingredients maintains optimal circulation and prevents strain on the heart and arteries.

How Saface-H 5/12.5Mg Tablet Works

Saface-H 5/12.5Mg Tablet contains two medicines: 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 (diuretic) 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.
