Brief Answer:
Yes, they do teh same work!

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks for this query.

Ramipril and ibersartan work in the same manner. They produce the same goals and would continue to protect your heart. Your doctor is right about that and the substitution continues to ensure that the heart is well protected by ibersartan. Be relaxed knowing the drug would serve the purpose intended to.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thanks for using our services and do feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
