WHAT UPTRAVI IS
USED FOR
UPTRAVI contains the active
substance selexipag. It is a medicine
that acts on a receptor that is the
target of a natural substance called
"prostacyclin".
UPTRAVI is used for the long-term
treatment of pulmonary arterial
hypertension (PAH) in adults.
It can be used on its own or with
other medicines for PAH. PAH is
high blood pressure in the blood
vessels that carry blood from the
heart to the lungs (the pulmonary
arteries). In people with PAH, these
arteries narrow, so the heart has to
work harder to pump blood through
them. This may cause people to feel
tired, dizzy, short of breath, or
experience other symptoms.
UPTRAVI widens the pulmonary
arteries and reduces their hardening.
This makes it easier for the heart to
pump blood through the pulmonary
arteries. It relieves the symptoms of
PAH and improves the course of the
disease.
Your doctor however, may prescribe
UPTRAVI for another purpose.
ASK YOUR DOCTOR IF YOU HAVE ANY
QUESTIONS ABOUT WHY IT HAS BEEN
PRESCRIBED FOR YOU.
