Bosentan

Uses

Bosentan is used in the treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH).

How it Works

How Bosentan works Bosentan is an endothelin receptor blocker that inhibits the action of endothelin, a natural substance that causes blood vessels to constrict. This constriction increases the pressure in the blood vessels of the lungs. Bosentan helps relax these blood vessels and enhances the blood supply to the lungs.

Side Effects

Common side effects of Bosentan include respiratory tract infection, headache, flushing (a sense of warmth in the face, ears, neck, and trunk), and fluid retention.

Expert Advice

  • It helps improve your quality of life, exercise ability, and delays disease progression.
  • Notify your doctor if you are pregnant, planning to conceive, or breastfeeding.
  • Your doctor may request routine blood tests to check for anemia and assess liver function.
  • Do not drive or engage in activities requiring concentration until you know how Bosentan affects you.
  • Females with reproductive potential should use a reliable form of birth control while using Bosentan and for one month after stopping, as it is toxic to an unborn baby.

    • Weight gain
    • Swelling of your arms and legs
    • Difficulty breathing

    • Yellowing of the skin or eyes
