WHAT UPTRAVI IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Uptravi is a medicine that contains the active substance selexipag. It
acts on blood vessels in a similar
way to the natural substance prostacyclin, making them relax and
widen.
Uptravi is used for the long-term treatment of pulmonary arterial
hypertension (PAH) in adult patients
insufficiently controlled with other types of medicines for PAH known
as endothelin receptor
antagonists and phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors. Uptravi can be
used on its own if the patient is not
a candidate for these medicines.
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 sy
