About Pulmonext 5 Tablet
Pulmonext 5 Tablet 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.
Pulmonext 5 Tablet contains ‘Ambrisentan,’ which belongs to the class of ‘endothelin receptor blockers’. Ambrisentan works by inhibiting the action of Endothelin, a natural substance that constricts blood vessels and raises blood pressure. Pulmonext 5 Tablet widens the constricted pulmonary arteries (blood vessels that carry blood from the heart to the lungs) and increases blood supply to the lungs, thus lowering the blood pressure.
In some cases, Pulmonext 5 Tablet can cause side effects like headache, dizziness, palpitations, breathlessness, runny nose, feeling sick, diarrhoea, and fatigue. These side effects are not familiar to everyone and vary individually. If you notice any side effects that are not manageable, please consult your doctor.

Medicinal Benefits
Pulmonext 5 Tablet 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.

Disease/Condition Glossary
Hypertension: It is a medical condition in which blood pressure is elevated persistently in the arteries. It is considered as an essential risk factor for cardiovascular diseases and can be caused due to obesity, diabetes, smoking, high salt intake, stress, lack of physical activity or ageing. Blood pressure is measured in the ratio of systolic pressure to diastolic pressure. Systolic pressure is the pressure when the heart pumps blood out. On the other hand, diastolic pressure is the pressure when your heart is at the resting stage between heartbeats. If your blood pressure is 140/90 mm of Hg, it means the systolic pressure is 140 mm of Hg and, diastolic pressure is 90 mm of Hg. Ideal blood pressure range lies in between 90/60 mmHg and 120/80 mmHg. If the blood pressure is 140/90 mmHg or greater, it is considered high blood pressure.
Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension: It is referred to as high blood pressure in the blood vessels (the pulmonary arteries) that carry blood from the heart to the lungs. Symptoms include shortness of breath, dizziness, and chest pressure.
