ambrisentan<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ambrisentan Mylan contains the active substance ambrisentan. It belongs to a group of medicines called other antihypertensive drugs (used to treat high blood pressure).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is used to treat pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) in adults. PAH is high blood pressure in the blood vessels (pulmonary arteries) that transport blood from the heart to the lungs. In people with PAH, these arteries become narrower so that the heart has to work harder to pump blood through them. This makes you feel tired, dizzy, and out of breath.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ambrisentan Mylan dilates the pulmonary arteries and makes it easier for the heart to pump blood through them. This lowers blood pressure and relieves symptoms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ambrisentan Mylan can also be used in combination with other medicines used to treat PAH.
