Pulmonext 5 Tablet contains Ambrisentan (5 mg). Its mechanisms of action are:

• ETA Receptor Blockage: Ambrisentan works by binding to and blocking the endothelin type A (ETA) receptor found in your lungs and other tissues. This receptor plays a crucial role in the development and progression of PAH.

• Prevention of ET-1 Binding: By blocking the ETA receptor, Ambrisentan prevents the binding of endothelin-1, a substance that causes blood vessels to narrow. This leads to the widening of blood vessels (vasodilation) and reduced blood pressure in the pulmonary arteries.

• Selective Action: Ambrisentan selectively targets the ETA receptor more than the endothelin type B receptor. This selectivity helps to optimise the beneficial effects on lung blood vessels while minimising potential side effects.

• Maintain Room Temperature: Store Pulmonext 5 Tablet at a room temperature below 25°C.

• Away from Moisture: Keep it in the original packaging to guard against moisture.

• Light Protection: Shield it from direct light.

• Child Safety: Always keep it out of children's reach.

• Expiry Awareness: Use Pulmonext 5 Tablet before its expiry date.

• Regular Exercise: Engaging in regular, gentle exercise such as walking can help improve your capacity to perform physical activities, which is an important aspect when managing PAH.

• Reduced Salt Intake: Aim to limit your salt intake as high sodium levels can increase blood pressure, which can exacerbate symptoms of PAH.
