Altace (Ramipril) is an ACE Inhibitor used to treat hypertension and congestive heart failure. It is often prescribed to diabetics for its kidney-protective properties. Like other ACE inhibitors, Altace is unsafe for pregnant women. It is also typically taken with other medications in order to achieve the necessary blood pressure reduction goal.

Doctors often prescribe a drug of this class as first-line treatment for hypertension and heart failure, as well as a number of other conditions, such as strokes and kidney dysfunction resulting from diabetes.Geriatric Times: Understanding the Biology of ACE Inhibitors WebMD: ACE Inhibitors for high blood pressure
