helpFrequently Asked Questions

I have been diagnosed with heart failure and the doctor has prescribed me Rigapril 5mg Tablet. Why?

expand_more

Rigapril 5mg Tablet belongs to the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor group of drugs. It relaxes and widens the blood vessels, making it easier for the blood to pass through the vessels. As a result of this, the heart does not have to work more to push the blood. Since the workload on the heart is reduced, it is beneficial in heart failure. Additionally, it is also used to lower blood pressure and prevent stroke.

When can I expect my blood pressure to be normal after starting Rigapril 5mg Tablet?

expand_more

Rigapril 5mg Tablet takes a few hours to reduce high blood pressure but since there are no symptoms, you will not notice any difference. It takes a few weeks for the blood pressure to get fully controlled. Do not stop taking the medicine. Keep taking it even if you feel better or if your blood pressure is normalized.
