Overview
Pulmofirst 62.5mg Tablets (10 pack) contain bosentan, a specialist medicine for pulmonary arterial hypertension (high blood pressure in the arteries of the lungs). Bosentan blocks a natural substance (endothelin) that narrows these lung arteries, helping them relax and widen so the heart can pump blood through the lungs more easily. This improves exercise ability and breathlessness and slows the condition's progression. The 62.5mg strength is the usual starting dose, often increased after a few weeks. A specialist-prescribed, closely monitored treatment helping affected people manage this serious lung-circulation condition. Confirm the active on the pack.
Active: Bosentan 62.5mg (as monohydrate) per tablet. Confirm on packaging.
Directions for Use
This is a prescription medicine started and supervised by a specialist. Take only as directed. Usually twice daily (morning and evening), swallowed with water, with or without food, at the same times each day. The dose is often started low and increased after about 4 weeks. Keep taking it exactly as prescribed, do not stop suddenly, and attend the regular blood tests (especially liver checks) that are an essential part of treatment.
Regular monthly liver blood tests are required, as bosentan can affect the liver. Report yellowing skin or eyes, nausea, dark urine or unusual tiredness. It must not be used in pregnancy and can harm an unborn baby. Reliable contraception is essential, and it can make hormonal contraception less effective, so additional contraception is needed. Tell your doctor about all other medicines (many interactions). May cause headache, flushing, swollen ankles or anaemia. Store below 30°C.
