Drug Details
Riociguat, marketed as Adempas, is prescribed for adults to manage pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) and chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH), both of which involve elevated blood pressure in the lungs. This medication is particularly useful when surgery is not an option or has not fully resolved the condition. Riociguat functions by stimulating soluble guanylate cyclase (sGC), a protein that helps relax and widen blood vessels in the lungs, facilitating improved blood flow. This action reduces the workload on the heart and enhances your ability to breathe and exercise more easily. Adempas is taken orally, typically every 8 hours. While using this drug, some patients may experience side effects such as headache, indigestion, and dizziness. It is crucial for females to use Adempas under the Adempas REMS program due to the risk of serious harm to unborn babies. Always consult with a healthcare professional before starting any new medication.
