Authorities have issued a serious shortage protocol restricting patients to a one-month supply to manage dwindling stock levels. Ramipril, an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor, helps lower blood pressure by widening blood vessels, easing the heart’s workload. With approximately three million prescriptions dispensed monthly in England alone, the shortage has raised concerns among healthcare providers and patients.
