1. What is Ambrisentán Vivanta and what is it used for

This medication contains the active substance ambrisentán. It belongs to a group of medications called other antihypertensives (used to treat high blood pressure).

It is indicated for the treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) in adults, adolescents, and children 8 years of age and older. PAH consists of elevated blood pressure in the vessels (pulmonary arteries) that carry blood from the heart to the lungs. In people with PAH, these arteries become narrower, so the heart has to work harder to pump blood into the lungs. This makes people feel tired, dizzy, and have difficulty breathing.

Ambrisentán widens the pulmonary arteries, making it easier for the heart to pump blood through them. This reduces blood pressure and alleviates symptoms.

Ambrisentán may also be used in combination with other medications used to treat PAH.
