WHAT VOLIBRIS IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Volibris contains the active substance ambrisentan. It belongs to a
group of medicines called other
antihypertensives (used to treat high blood pressure).
It is used to treat pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) in adults,
adolescents and children aged
8 years and over. PAH is high blood pressure in the blood vessels (the
pulmonary arteries) that carry
blood from the heart to the lungs. In people with PAH, these arteries
get narrower, so the heart has to
work harder to pump blood through them. This causes people to feel
tired, dizzy and short of breath.
Volibris widens the pulmonary arteries, making it easier for the heart
to pump blood through them.
This lowers the blood pressure and relieves the symptoms.
Volibris may also be used in combination with other medicines used to
treat PAH.
