| Mechanism of action | Metoz R Tablet is a combination of two medicines: Ramipril and metolazone which lower blood pressure effectively. Ramipril is an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor.

Metolazone is a diuretic that removes extra water and certain electrolytes from the body. Over time it also relaxes blood vessels and improves blood flow. |
