So, Aprocitentan is a kind of medicine that blocks something called endothelin receptors. It’s used to treat really high blood pressure that doesn’t respond to other drugs. Its main job is to help relax blood vessels.
You can get Aprocitentan in 12.5 mg tablet form. The suggested dose is just one 12.5 mg tablet every day. Each bottle has 30 of these tablets.
It’s usually for people whose blood pressure doesn’t drop despite trying other hypertension pills. It works by getting in the way of endothelin, which is a super strong blood-vessel constrictor. You might need to keep taking it for a long time to keep your blood pressure down.
Possible side effects can be things like dizziness, headaches, a warm feeling, or higher liver enzymes. It’s crucial that people taking Aprocitentan listen to what their doctor says about how to take it. Your doc might want to keep an eye on your liver enzymes while you’re on this med, cause it can sometimes cause them to go up a bit.
Aprocitentan isn’t meant for kids or folks with really bad liver problems.
