About Macirol Tablet
Macirol Tablet belongs to the class of 'anti-hypertensive drugs', primarily used to treat high blood pressure in the lungs' arteries (pulmonary arterial hypertension). Hypertension is a medical condition in which the blood exerts high pressure (force exerted by circulating blood) against the walls of blood vessels. This condition makes the heart work harder in pumping blood to the whole body. Pulmonary hypertension affects arteries in the lungs and the right side of the heart.
Macirol Tablet contains 'macitentan', which works by inhibiting the action of Endothelin, a natural substance that constricts blood vessels and raises blood pressure. Macirol Tablet widens the constricted pulmonary arteries (blood vessels that carry blood from the heart to the lungs) and increases blood supply, thus lowering blood pressure.
Take Macirol Tablet as prescribed by your doctor. Your dose and duration of Macirol Tablet will be advised by your doctor, depending upon your medical condition. In some cases, you may experience headaches, inflammation of the airways, and oedema. Most of these side effects of Macirol Tablet do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist, please consult your doctor.
Please inform your doctor if you are using any prescription, or non-prescription drugs, including vitamins and herbal products. Before starting Macirol Tablet , let your doctor know if you have allergic reactions to Macirol Tablet or other medicines. Inform your doctor if you have low blood pressure, lung, heart, kidney, liver problems, and anaemia (lack of blood cells). It is advised to consult a doctor if you are a pregnant or breastfeeding mother. Do not stop taking Macirol Tablet without consulting your doctor since it may worsen your condition and increase the risk of future heart problems. Do not consume alcohol with Macirol Tablet as it may increase the risk of low blood pressure.
