Ambrisentan

Ambrisentan is a medication used to treat pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), a condition where high blood pressure affects the arteries in the lungs, making it harder for the heart to pump blood. It works by blocking certain substances that narrow these arteries, helping to relax and widen them. This improves blood flow, reduces strain on the heart, and can help relieve symptoms like shortness of breath and fatigue. Ambrisentan is typically prescribed under medical supervision and often used as part of a broader treatment plan for PAH.
