ASSURANS contains Sildenafil which belongs to the group of medicines called Phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE 5) inhibitors. It is used in adults to treat pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). PAH can be defined as an increased blood pressure in the blood vessels that supplies the lungs. It can be caused due to narrowing of blood vessels (arteries) supplying the heart and the lungs. Symptoms of PAH might include shortness of breath, tiredness, weakness, and feeling faint.
Sildenafil reduces blood pressure within the lungs by relaxing the blood vessels supplying the lungs. This enhances blood flow and oxygen supply to the lungs which ultimately reduces pressure within the lungs and improves its functions. ASSURANS should be used in patients who temporarily cannot take any medicines orally to treat pulmonary arterial hypertension.
