BOSENTAS-62.5MG is a medication containing Bosentan as its active ingredient. It belongs to a class of drugs called endothelin receptor antagonists. This medication is primarily used to treat Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH), a serious and progressive condition characterized by high blood pressure in the arteries that carry blood from the heart to the lungs.
Here’s how it works: In PAH, a natural substance called endothelin is overproduced in the body. Endothelin causes blood vessels to narrow (constrict), leading to increased pressure in the pulmonary arteries. Bosentan works by blocking the action of endothelin at specific receptors (ETA and ETB) on the blood vessel walls. By doing so, it helps to relax and widen these blood vessels, improving blood flow to the lungs and reducing the high blood pressure.
BOSENTAS-62.5MG aims to improve the patient’s quality of life by enhancing their exercise ability and delaying the progression of the disease. It is typically taken orally, with or without food, and the dosage is determined by a doctor based on the individual’s condition, age, and weight. Regular monitoring of liver function and hemoglobin levels is crucial during treatment due to potential side effects. Women of childbearing potential are advised to use reliable contraceptive methods as this medication can be harmful to an unborn child.
