Masittan Medication Information

Pulmonary artery hypertension (PAH) is a disease in which the blood pressure of the blood vessels feeding the lungs is too high. Masitantan relaxes the muscle cells in the walls of the blood vessels leading to your lungs and allows your blood vessels to dilate. This reduces the pressure in the blood vessels and makes the blood flow in the blood vessels easier. As a result, your lung function and ability to exercise will improve.
