WHAT OPSUMIT IS USED FOR
Opsumit
is
used
for
the
long-term
treatment
of
pulmonary
arterial
hypertension (PAH), it can be used on its
own or with other drugs for PAH.
HOW OPSUMIT WORKS
Opsumit
contains
the
active
substance
macitentan, which belongs to the group
of
substances
known
as
endothelin
receptor antagonists.
PAH is high blood pressure in the blood
vessels
(the
pulmonary
arteries)
that
carry blood from the heart to the lungs.
In people with PAH, these arteries get
narrower, so the heart has to work harder
to pump blood through them. This causes
people to feel tired, dizzy, and short of
breath.
Opsumit widens the pulmonary arteries,
making it easier for the heart to pump
blood
through
them.
This
lowers
the
blood
pressure
and
both
relieves
the
symptoms and improves the course of
the disease.
