How Pulmonext Kit works

Pulmonext Kit is a combination of two medicines: Ambrisentan and Tadalafil which treat pulmonary arterial hypertension (high blood pressure in the lungs). Ambrisentan is an endothelin receptor antagonist and tadalafil is a PDE-5 inhibitor. They work together to lower the blood pressure inside the lungs vessels by relaxing them. This improves your ability to do physical activity.
