Riopah 1mg Tablet 10's

Riopah 1mg Tablet 10's belongs to the class of medications called soluble guanylate cyclase stimulators. It is also used to treat adults with Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH), alone or in combination with other medications. Pulmonary hypertension is a type of high blood pressure that affects the arteries in your lungs and the right side of your heart.

Riopah 1mg Tablet 10's contains ‘Riociguat’. It works by relaxing the blood vessels in the lungs. This leads to the relaxation or widening of those vessels. Relaxing and widening the blood vessels in the lungs decreases the pulmonary blood pressure to the heart and improves its function. This reduces blood pressure in the lungs, which generally results in the ability to be more active.

Riopah 1mg Tablet 10's is taken dose and duration as advised by the doctor. Riopah 1mg Tablet 10's may be prescribed alone or in combination with other blood pressure-lowering medicines depending upon your blood pressure levels. In some cases, Riopah 1mg Tablet 10's can cause side effects like headache, diarrhoea, decreased blood pressure, dizziness, vomiting, nausea, anaemia (low number of red blood cells), gastro-oesophageal reflux disease, and constipation.

Riopah 1mg Tablet 10's belongs to the class of medications called soluble guanylate cyclase stimulators. Cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cyclic GMP) is a substance produced in the lungs and other parts of the body by an enzyme called guanylate cyclase in response to nitric oxide. Cyclic GMP causes the blood vessels (arteries) to relax and widen. Riociguat increases guanylate cyclase activity in two ways so that more cyclic GMP is available for the blood vessels inside the lungs. This leads to relaxation or widening of those vessels. Relaxing and widening the blood vessels in the lungs decreases the pulmonary blood pressure to the heart and improves its function. This reduces blood pressure in the lungs, which generally results in the ability to be more active.
