Rioteph

Rioteph 1mg Tablet is prescribed to treat pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), which is high pressure in the blood vessels that carry blood from the heart to the lungs. It helps relax and widen blood vessels in the lungs, making it easier for the heart to pump blood and improving your ability to breathe and exercise. It can also be prescribed to treat chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH), which occurs when old blood clots block blood flow in the lungs, leading to increased pressure in the lung blood vessels.

Individuals should not take Rioteph 1mg Tablet if they are pregnant, breastfeeding, allergic to any ingredient in the medicine, have very low blood pressure, or have lung hypertension caused by idiopathic interstitial pneumonias.
