The drug reduces the level of angiotensin, which leads to a decrease in the secretion of aldosterone. Ramipril affects the process of blood circulation in tissues and vascular walls. With long-term administration of the drug, ramipril causes complications and diseases in patients with hypertension.

The use of ramipril significantly lowers the pressure of portal hypertension in the portal vein, slows down microalbuminuria, and in patients with diabetic nephropathy worsens the state of renal function.
