Altace HCT (active ingredients: ramipril and hydrochlorothiazide) is a prescription medication indicated for:

  • Hypertension: Altace HCT is used to manage high blood pressure (hypertension) in adults. Lowering blood pressure helps reduce the risk of stroke, heart attack, and kidney problems.

Altace HCT combines two medications: ramipril, an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor, and hydrochlorothiazide, a thiazide diuretic. Ramipril works by relaxing blood vessels, allowing blood to flow more easily, while hydrochlorothiazide helps to reduce excess fluid in the body by increasing urine production, further lowering blood pressure.

Altace HCT comes in the form of tablet to take orally with or without food, typically once daily or as prescribed by a doctor. The tablet should not be crushed or split and should be taken whole with a glass of water. If taken close to bedtime, the patient may need to wake up to urinate, so take it first thing in the morning.

If the patient takes medication to lower cholesterol, such as cholestyramine or colestipol, they should take Altace HCT at least 4 hours before or 4 to 6 hours after these medications.

The appropriate dosage of Altace HCT depends on the individual’s medical condition and response to treatment. Take the tablet regularly to receive the most benefit. To help remember to take it, take it at the same time each day. Your dose may need to be gradually decreased. Patients should continue taking the medication even if they feel well.

Do not stop taking Altace HCT Tablet without first consulting your doctor. Some conditions may become worse when the drug is abruptly stopped. Skip the missed dose and go back to your normal time. Do not take 2 doses at the same time or extra doses.
