Ciastad is a treatment for pulmonary arterial hypertension in adults.

It belongs to a group of drugs called phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors (PDE5), which improve blood flow to the lungs by affecting the blood vessels around the lungs so that they relax. The result is improved capacity during physical exertion.
