WHAT STAYVEER IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
STAYVEER tablets contain bosentan, which blocks a naturally occurring
hormone called endothelin-1
(ET-1), which causes blood vessels to narrow. STAYVEER therefore
causes blood vessels to expand and
belongs to the class of medicines called “endothelin receptor
antagonists”.
STAYVEER is used to treat:

PULMONARY ARTERIAL HYPERTENSION (PAH): PAH is a disease of severe
narrowing of the blood
vessels in the lungs resulting in high blood pressure in the blood
vessels (the pulmonary arteries)
that carry blood from the heart to the lungs. This pressure reduces
the amount of oxygen that can
get into the blood in the lungs, making physical activity more
difficult. STAYVEER widens the
pulmonary arteries, making it easier for the heart to pump blood
through them. This lowers the
blood pressure and relieves the symptoms.
STAYVEER is used to treat patients with class III PAH to improve
exercise capacity (the ability to carry
out physical activity) and symptoms. The ‘class’ reflects the
seriousness of the disease: ‘class III’ involves
marked limitation of physical
