Explanation:

c. "Taking this medication helps reduce my risk of stroke and heart attack."

In type II diabetes, the body is unable to adapt to the insulin it produces; this condition has several comorbidities, such as cardiovascular events. A pro-drug, ramipril belongs to the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) family- it is metabolized in the kidney and more significantly, the liver. This drug is a molecule that acts as an enzyme inhibitor for ACE; it converts angiotensin I (ATI) to angiotensin II (ATII) which in turn allows for blood pressure regulation. Additionally it maybe used in the management of other conditions such as:

  • Nephropathy
  • Heart failure
  • Asthma

It may also reduce the risk of several conditions in persons at risk for cardiovascular events...

  • Fatality
  • Heart attack
  • Stroke
