About Pulmonext 5 Tablet
Pulmonext 5 Tablet is used to treat high blood pressure in the arteries of the lungs (pulmonary arterial hypertension). Hypertension is a medical condition in which the blood exerts high pressure (force exerted by circulating blood) against the walls of blood vessels. This condition makes the heart work harder in pumping the blood to the whole body. Pulmonary hypertension affects arteries in the lungs and the right side of the heart.
Pulmonext 5 Tablet contains ‘Ambrisentan,’ which belongs to the class of ‘endothelin receptor blockers’. Ambrisentan works by inhibiting the action of Endothelin, a natural substance that constricts blood vessels and raises blood pressure. Pulmonext 5 Tablet widens the constricted pulmonary arteries (blood vessels that carry blood from the heart to the lungs) and increases blood supply to the lungs, thus lowering the blood pressure.
In some cases, Pulmonext 5 Tablet can cause side effects like headache, dizziness, palpitations, breathlessness, runny nose, feeling sick, diarrhoea, and fatigue. These side effects are not familiar to everyone and vary individually. If you notice any side effects that are not manageable, please consult your doctor.
Please inform your doctor if you are using any prescription or non-prescription drugs, including vitamins and herbal products. Let your doctor know if you have any allergic reactions to Pulmonext 5 Tablet or any other medicines, before starting Pulmonext 5 Tablet . Inform your doctor if you have low blood pressure, lung, heart, kidney or liver problems, and anaemia (lack of blood cells). It is advised to consult a doctor if you are a pregnant or breastfeeding mother. Do not stop taking Pulmonext 5 Tablet without consulting your doctor since it may worsen your condition and increase the risk of future heart problems. Do not consume alcohol with Pulmonext 5 Tablet as it may increase the risk of low blood pressure.
Uses of Pulmonext 5 Tablet
Medicinal Benefits
Pulmonext 5 Tablet is an anti-hypertensive medicine that treats high blood pressure in the arteries of the lungs (pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH)). It contains ‘Ambrisentan,’ an endothelin receptor blocker. Pulmonext 5 Tablet works by inhibiting the action of Endothelin, a natural substance that constricts blood vessels and raises blood pressure. In people with PAH, the pulmonary arteries get narrower making the heart work harder to pump blood through them. Pulmonext 5 Tablet widens these constricted arteries and makes it easier for the heart to pump blood, thus lowering the blood pressure.
