Why Healthcare Professionals Prescribe ALTACE®
ALTACE® is America's number-one prescribed name brand in its class among cardiologists and endocrinologists.31
One reason why is that ALTACE® is the only ACE inhibitor proven to reduce the risk of heart attack and stroke in high-risk people aged 55 or older.1,27,28
Given that it also effectively lowers high blood pressure, it is easy to see why these healthcare professionals prescribe ALTACE®—both for patients who need to lower hypertension today and for patients concerned with reducing their cardiovascular risk after age 55.1
