X Pril 2.5 MG Tablet 10 contains ramipril (2.5 mg). Here's how it works:

• ACE Inhibition: Ramipril inhibits a substance in your body called angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE). ACE plays an important role in controlling your blood pressure. By inhibiting ACE, ramipril reduces the levels of another substance called angiotensin II.

• Control of Blood Pressure: Lower levels of angiotensin II cause blood vessels to relax and widen, reducing blood pressure. Additionally, less angiotensin II leads to decreased production of a hormone called aldosterone, which helps control the salt and water balance in your body, further helping lower blood pressure.

• Increased Renin Activity: Reducing angiotensin II leads to less negative feedback on renin secretion, leading to increased plasma renin activity. Renin is an enzyme that contributes to controlling blood pressure.

• Since X Pril 2.5 MG Tablet 10 is used to manage hypertension, aim to limit your salt intake. Excess salt can raise blood pressure levels.
