Introduction

Opsutan Tablet is given alone or in combination with some other medicines. It should be taken with or without food. This medicine should be used regularly to get the most benefit from it. The dose and how often you take it depends on what you are taking it for. Your doctor will decide how much you need to improve your symptoms. You should take this medicine for as long as it is prescribed for you.

Take this medicine in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Swallow it as a whole. Do not chew, crush or break it. Opsutan Tablet may be taken with or without food, but it is better to take it at a fixed time.

Opsutan Tablet is an endothelin receptor blocker. It blocks the action of endothelin (a natural substance) that causes blood vessels to narrow (constrict). This narrowing increases the pressure in the blood vessels of the lungs. Opsutan Tablet helps relax these blood vessels and increases the supply of blood to the lungs.

Notify your doctor if you are pregnant or planning to conceive or breastfeeding. Your doctor may ask you to get routine blood tests done to check for anemia and to assess the functioning of your liver. Do not drive or do anything requiring concentration until you know how Opsutan Tablet affects you. Inform your doctor if you notice weight gain, swelling of your arms and legs, or difficulty breathing. Inform your doctor if you notice yellowing of skin/eye, dark urine, or stomach pain.
