About Ibitan 5mg Tablet

AMBRISENTAN belongs to the class of ‘anti-hypertensive drugs’, primarily used to treat high blood pressure in the arteries of 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 to work harder in pumping the blood to the whole body. Pulmonary hypertension affects arteries in the lungs and the right side of the heart.

Medicinal Benefits of Ibitan 5mg Tablet

AMBRISENTAN is an anti-hypertensive medicine that treats high blood pressure in the arteries of lungs (pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH)). It contains ‘Ambrisentan,’ an endothelin receptor blocker. AMBRISENTAN 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. AMBRISENTAN widens these constricted arteries and makes it easier for the heart to pump blood, thus lowering the blood pressure.
