WHAT ADEMPAS IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Adempas contains the active substance riociguat. Riociguat is a type
of medicine called a guanylate
cyclase (sGC)-stimulator. It works by widening the pulmonary arteries
(the blood vessels that connect
the heart to the lungs), making it easier for the heart to pump blood
through the lungs. Adempas can be
used to treat adults with certain forms of pulmonary hypertension, a
condition in which these blood
vessels become narrowed, making it harder for the heart to pump blood
through them and leading to
high blood pressure in the vessels. Because the heart must work harder
than normal, people with
pulmonary hypertension feel tired, dizzy and short of breath. By
widening the narrowed arteries,
Adempas leads to an improvement in your ability to carry out physical
activity.
Adempas is used in either of two types of pulmonary hypertension:

CHRONIC THROMBOEMBOLIC PULMONARY HYPERTENSION (CTEPH)
.
In CTEPH, the blood vessels of the lung are blocked or narrowed with
