Revatio (Sildenafil Citrate)

Revatio is a prescription pulmonary hypertension treatment medication that works to counter this condition where high blood pressure builds up in the lungs and impedes strong lung and heart function.

Sildenafil works to relax and widen blood vessels so that they are less constricted and pressure is reduced. It is always important to treat arterial hypertension as allowing blood pressure to stay high creates a number of serious associated health risks. Revatio is an effective way to bring blood pressure in the lungs down and it can be very beneficial for some people in allowing them to continue with vigorous cardiovascular exercise.
