Patient summary

Altace is ramipril in hard capsules from 1.25mg to 10mg, used in the management of hypertension, heart failure and recovery after a myocardial infarction.

Mechanism of action

Inhibits angiotensin-converting enzyme, preventing the conversion of angiotensin I to angiotensin II. This reduces blood vessel constriction and aldosterone secretion, facilitating vasodilation and reducing blood pressure.

Pregnancy and breastfeeding

Pregnancy: Must not be used during pregnancy. Breastfeeding: Confirm breastfeeding suitability with a qualified clinician or pharmacist before use.

Altace is a brand of ramipril, an ACE inhibitor used to manage hypertension, heart failure and post-myocardial infarction. The same active ingredient is also sold as Ramcace and Tritace. It is available as a tablet in strengths from 1.25mg to 10mg.

Buying Altace online

What you will receive

Altace is the originator brand name, made by Pfizer. We use it here to identify the medicine only; we are not affiliated with Pfizer and do not ship the original Altace.

  • You receive a generic equivalent: the same active ingredient (Ramipril) at the same dose, mostly recognised branded generics from vetted manufacturers.
  • The exact brand supplied depends on what is in stock at the dispatching warehouse.
  • Inactive ingredients, tablet appearance and packaging can differ from the original brand; the active ingredient and dose are the same.
