Uses of PAH Tablet
Benefits of PAH Tablet
In Treatment of Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH)
Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) can cause shortness of breath, tiredness, dizziness, chest pain and swelling in your ankles and legs. It is caused by thickening of walls of the arteries that supply your lungs making it hard for blood to get through. PAH 20 Tablet relaxes and widens blood vessels in the lungs. This helps reduce the strain on the heart and improves blood flow, leading to lowered blood pressure in the pulmonary arteries. By easing the workload on the heart and enhancing circulation, PAH 20 Tablet can improve exercise capacity, reduce symptoms like shortness of breath and fatigue, and enhance the overall quality of life for individuals with PAH.
