Product description & overview
Macitent 10mg Tablets: A Proven Treatment for Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension
Macitent 10mg tablets contain Macitentan (10mg), a medication used to treat pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). PAH is a rare but serious disease where the arteries in your lungs become narrowed, causing them to work harder and potentially leading to shortness of breath and other symptoms.
How it Works: Macitentan relaxes blood vessels in the lungs, improving blood flow and relieving pressure on the heart. This helps patients with PAH experience increased energy levels and improved quality of life.
* Dosage: Each tablet contains 10mg of Macitentan.
* Administration: Take one tablet daily at any time of day, as directed by your healthcare professional.
* Contraindications: Macitent is not recommended for individuals with a history of hypersensitivity to macitentan or other medications in the same class. Consult your doctor before taking this medication if you have pre-existing medical conditions or are currently taking other medications.
Always consult your physician regarding your treatment plan and for any questions or concerns about Macitent 10mg tablets.

About Macitentan
Macitentan is an endothelin receptor antagonist used to treat pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). It works by blocking the action of endothelin, a substance that constricts blood vessels, thereby relaxing the blood vessels and improving blood flow to the lungs. This medication can enhance exercise capacity and improve the quality of life in patients with PAH. Common side effects may include headaches and swelling, but these typically resolve over time. In summary, Macitentan is effective in managing high blood pressure in the lungs.
How It Works
Macitentan selectively blocks endothelin-1 receptors, leading to vasodilation and reduced pulmonary vascular resistance.
