riociguat

Riociguat is a medication used to treat certain types of high blood pressure in the lungs, known as pulmonary hypertension. It works by relaxing and widening the blood vessels in the lungs, which reduces the pressure and makes it easier for the heart to pump blood. This can improve symptoms like shortness of breath and fatigue, helping patients breathe more comfortably and increase their exercise capacity. Riociguat is typically prescribed when other treatments haven't been effective, and it requires careful monitoring due to potential side effects.
